Miller, from Spruce Grove, Alberta, recorded three goals and three assists over three games this week as the Vees picked up five of a possible six points.
Wednesday against the Merritt Centennials, Miller had a record night as he scored twice and added two assists in a 6-2 Vees win.
Friday Miller was held pointless in the Vees 3-2 shootout loss to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks before adding a goal and an assist against the Cowichan Valley Capitals Saturday night in a 4-1 Vees win.
