2010-11: Millan handled the bulk of the goaltending chores for Boston University for the third straight year; starting 35 of 39 games as a junior. The Terriers showed some improvement from the previous year record-wise, and again finished third in Hockey East, but were denied an NCAA playoff bid for the second consecutive season.

Talent Analysis
After an off-year in 2009-10, Millan rebounded in 2010-11 with a stingy season. The former Frozen Four champion is athletic and has great reflexes allowing him to make some spectacular saves. However, Millan is somewhat undersized and has been known for his inconsistency.
Future
Millan will play his senior season at Boston University in 2011-12.
