The Toronto Sceptres forward and North Vancouver native had petitioned the IIHF for eligibility to re-join the Canadian national team program for the world championship later this month in Czechia after previously representing China at the Beijing Olympics. As a member of the Kunlun Red Stars Chinese professional team for two seasons, Miller was allowed to play for China at the Beijing Games despite the fact that she did not and does not hold a Chinese passport. But the feeling even then was if she went ahead and represented China at the Olympic Games, it likely meant closing the door on future play for her native Canada. That feeling changed after Miller sent a request to the IIHF. Clearly, the Canadian delegation was getting signals that the IIHF would approve the request as Hockey Canada named her to the team roster a few weeks ago. Sceptres head coach Troy Ryan, who also is the head coach of the Canadian women’s team, sounded very optimistic Miller would be cleared to play.
