Robert Lea MacMillan (born December 3, 1952) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey forward and a former politician who served in the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island. During his hockey career, he played two seasons in the World Hockey Association (WHA), followed by eleven seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL), from 1974–75 until 1984–85. He helped the Calgary Flames reach the NHL playoff semifinals for the first time in 1981.
As a youth, MacMillan played in the 1964 and 1965 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a minor ice hockey team from Charlottetown.[1] He was drafted 15th overall by the New York Rangers in the 1972 NHL Amateur Draft.[2] He was traded along with Dick Redmond, Yves Bélanger and a second‐round selection in the 1979 NHL Entry Draft (23rd overall–Mike Perovich) from the St. Louis Blues to the Atlanta Flames for Phil Myre, Curt Bennett and Barry Gibbs on December 12, 1977.[3] Upon his retirement, MacMillan returned to Charlottetown to coach senior hockey. After two years behind the bench he made a brief comeback to the ice when he dressed for two games with the Charlottetown Islanders in the 1987–88 season and scored four points.
MacMillan served in the Prince Edward Island legislature from 2000–2003, as part of Pat Binns's Progressive Conservative government.[4]
MacMillan is the brother of former player and coach Bill MacMillan. MacMillan is the father of Logan MacMillan, the first-round pick (19th overall) of the Anaheim Ducks in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, Bryan MacMillan, owner of 'Chuck Hatchets', and 'The Whiskey Pub and Kitchen', and Cole MacMillan, who most recently played hockey at University of Prince Edward Island. He currently owns and operates The Sport Page Club, a sports bar in downtown Charlottetown.
