Career
Before playing in the NHL, Millar played four seasons with the Quebec Aces of the Quebec Senior Hockey League (QSHL). From 1949 until 1957, Millar played for a multitude of junior teams before he joined the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL) during the 1957–58 season. 

On January 1, 1958, Millar made his NHL debut. He stopped 31 shots on goal but the team still lost 4–3 against the Montreal Canadiens. On January 4, 1958, in his second game, Millar recorded his first and only win in the NHL. He stopped 22 shots on goal in a 7–4 win against the New York Rangers. Millar went on to lose his next three games and tie one game. He left the Bruins organization shortly afterwards. On September 12, 1967, as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs junior team, he was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for cash. This was the very first trade that the Flyers made as a franchise.

He went on to play for another multitude of junior teams before he eventually retired from playing professional ice hockey in 1970.
