“Both Pete and Scott bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Mills and are both men that I have worked with the past. I trust them wholeheartedly and know they will do an outstanding job for the Millionaires. These additions make our team a lot stronger and I’m looking forward to working with both Pete and Scott again,” stated Head Coach and General Manager Doug Johnson.

He calls Fallis, Alberta home now after spending many years in BC, both playing and helping the Okanagan hockey schools. Scott also spent eight years with the Edmonton Oilers in many different capacities. Orchison spent four years as the Assistant General Manager of the Nipawin Hawks and last season was a scout for the Drumheller Dragons of the AJHL.
