The Bruins announced Friday that they’ve signed Mitchell Miller to an entry-level contract. Miller was originally drafted by the Coyotes in 2020, but the team renounced him as its draft pick three days later after it was revealed that he bullied a Black classmate with a developmental disability in eighth grade.
In 2020, the Arizona Republic reported that Miller and another classmate were charged in an Ohio Juvenile Court for assaulting Isaiah Meyer-Crothers. The incident included tricking Meyer-Crothers into licking a piece of candy that had been wiped in a urinal. Miller and the classmate were sentenced to 25 hours of community service, were ordered to write a an apology to Meyer-Crothers, and had to undergo counseling and pay court costs.
