Former Waterloo Black Hawks team president and general manager of business operations Doug Miller has accepted the position of becoming the Des Moines Buccaneers new team president.

Miller, who spent 12 seasons with the Black Hawks, beginning in 2001 as general manager of business operations before being promoted to president in 2009, resigned in 2013 to pursue opportunities outside of the Black Hawks organization.

In 2011-12, the United States Hockey League honored Miller with its Dave Tyler Executive of the Year award, an award determined by a poll of USHL member franchises and named after former Black Hawks and Waterloo Warriors executive Dave Tyler.
