Mitchell Miller (born December 20, 2001) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman for Ak Bars Kazan of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He was drafted 111th overall by the Arizona Coyotes in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, but the Coyotes renounced the rights to him after it emerged that he had repeatedly subjected a disabled black classmate to extreme bullying throughout multiple years of grade school. A commitment to join the University of North Dakota was also ended as a result of Miller's past conduct, and in 2021 he re-joined the Tri-City Storm. In November 2022, he signed an entry-level contract with the Boston Bruins, but the team parted ways with him two days later after intense backlash.
