Robert Lea MacMillan (born December 3, 1952) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey forward and former politician who held a seat in the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island. His professional hockey tenure included two seasons in the World Hockey Association (WHA) and eleven seasons competing in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1974–75 through 1984–85. He played a key role in guiding the Calgary Flames to their inaugural NHL playoff semifinal appearance in 1981.
Hockey career
MacMillan participated in the 1964 and 1965 editions of the Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament representing a minor hockey team from Charlottetown. Selected 15th overall by the New York Rangers during the 1972 NHL Amateur Draft, his career included a notable trade on December 12, 1977, when he was sent from the St. Louis Blues to the Atlanta Flames. This transaction involved Dick Redmond, Yves Bélanger, and a second-round draft pick (23rd overall in 1979) moving alongside him, while Phil Myre, Curt Bennett, and Barry Gibbs went to St. Louis. After concluding his professional playing career, MacMillan returned to Charlottetown where he coached senior-level hockey and briefly re-entered competition for two games with the Charlottetown Islanders during the 1987–88 season, recording four points.
Political career
Between 2000 and 2003, MacMillan served as a member of the Prince Edward Island legislature under the administration of Pat Binns's Progressive Conservative government.
Personal life
Robert MacMillan is related to former player and coach Bill MacMillan as his brother and is father to Logan MacMillan, who was selected in the first round (19th overall) by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. His other sons include Brad MacMillan, proprietor of 'Chuck Hatchets' and 'The Whiskey Pub and Kitchen', as well as Cole MacMillan, who competed in hockey at University of Prince Edward Island. Currently, Robert operates The Sport Page Club, a sports-themed bar located in downtown Charlottetown.
