Boston Bruins defenseman Kevan Miller hasn’t played a game, but has been nominated for an award.
The nomination for the Masterton Trophy comes after Kevan Miller managed just 39 games in a last season’s campaign for the Boston Bruins.
Recognition comes most likely as a result of a career as opposed to just one season, with perseverance front and center as a key trait that makes him tick.
Growing up in Los Angeles in an era that hadn’t quite seen the explosion of California as growing hockey hotbed, Kevan Miller faced challenges from the very start.
