Ryan Miller

Ryan Miller was appointed as Co-General Manager of the Springfield Thunderbirds on April 8, 2026, alongside Tim Taylor.

Miller, 42, came to the Blues in 2010 as the team’s director of hockey administration before being promoted to assistant general manager in 2020. In his role, Miller negotiates contracts, ensures compliance under the collective bargaining agreement and salary cap, and prepares for players who might opt to file for salary arbitration, along with a wide range of other responsibilities. The Colorado native earned a B.A. in criminal justice from the University of Dayton and later studied at the University of Denver's Sturm College of Law, before making path choice that ultimately led him to hockey. An internship at KO Sports led to him being hired as their director of hockey operations and licensing after passing the bar exam.
