Interesting... we had a brother, Chris Milles, of one of the Alaska
Fairbanks players, Greg Milles, as linesman/assistant referee during a
full four years including CCHA games.  I'm not sure, but he may have
graduated from UAF as well.  Before that their brother, Tony, was a
referee for many games.  I still remember hearing that some of the
players wanted to recruit Greg so Tony wouldn't be refereeing anymore.
Haven't seen Tony since, although I'm not sure there is any connection
with Greg playing to his leaving.
