October 2023 – Milic signed a one-year AHL contract through the 2023-24 season with the Manitoba Moose on October 6, 2023. A fifth-round pick by the Winnipeg Jets, 151st overall in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft after being passed over in two straight drafts, Milic has a history of proving doubters wrong; look for this trend to continue throughout his professional career. Mark Henry

June 2023 – After a strong run with the Seattle Thunderbirds, Milic’s season unfortunately came to a disappointing end in the Memorial Cup. Milic was a major reason for Seattle success, being a rock solid, reliable goalie for them, as well as being a reliable goalie for Canada at the U20 World Juniors. Milic will look professionally, as he fights for a spot on the Manitoba Moose in the coming season. Seth Ditchfield
