Milhouse, 22, is in first pro season, and returns to Victoria where he made his pro debut earlier this year. The native of Yorba Linda, CA played in five games for the Salmon Kings prior to landing in Las Vegas. The 5'10", 175 lbs. forward had three goals and an assist in 18 games with Las Vegas. He registered his first professional point while playing with Las Vegas on the road in Victoria.

He spent parts of two seasons playing junior hockey in the BCHL for the Victoria Grizzlies.
