Frank Mills

A hockey dad, coach, player, and fan - I began covering hockey in the mid 1990s writing about the Providence College men's and women's teams. My interests include early hockey history, scouting, analytics, and the untold stories of hockey players whose histories haven't yet been written. I write on NCAA men's and women's hockey, women's international hockey, and the PWHL. I cover the Washington Capitals for The Hockey Writers.
