Crazy we just heard him call games recently and then this. Life is so fleeting. R.I.P

P.s I liked his color commentary more than almost any other color commentator.

Oh what? This is terrible. Always loved him on the Flames' broadcasts. Ball and Millen was an amazing due we were lucky to have. RIP.

Awful to hear. It felt like he got a lot of the games out west here, so heard him a ton.


Always remember a hockey card I have that really showed off that crazy cage he rocked in goal.

Now every time I see Kadri take a dive I'll hear Greg Mullen calling him on it.

Oh what the hell that's so sad. I really liked his insight as our color guy. He offered a very different style from the upbeat Hrudey and I always thought he had really interesting perspective on how the Flames were playing on any given night. RIP.

I just saw this on TSN. I thought it was weird he didn’t do the last Flames game.

Horrible news. I really liked Millen. Straight shooter.

####, he was my favourite colour guy.

Also remember he was the last card I got to complete the 79/80 O Pee Chee set. RIP, Millsy. You were great.

Terribly sad news. I really enjoyed listening to Millen. He really did his homework leading up to each game. For me, he made Sportsnet broadcasts much better. I loved his cadence and the insight he brought into games. Thoughts and prayers for his family, friends and coworkers who I am sure all loved him a lot.

Loved the way he said "shot" like he was Vinny Barbarino from Welcome Back Kotter

This is so sad to hear. I enjoyed his colour work. Normally, it bothers me when a broadcaster mispronounces names but with Millen, I found it endearing. I think he had three different pronunciations for Vladar and would use them interchangeably throughout a game. RIP
