Isaiah Meyer-Crothers shares how years of bullying by Mitchell Miller impacted him
Trigger warning: This story contains a detailed account of abuse and racism.
Isaiah Meyer-Crothers, the victim of bullying from Arizona Coyotes draft pick and recent Boston Bruins signing Mitchell Miller, has spoken out publicly through the Hockey Diversity Alliance.
The Bruins were scrutinized last week for signing Miller to an NHL entry-level contract. The Coyotes originally drafted him in 2020 but renounced the pick after news of the bullying and abuse came to light. After a barrage of negative reactions to their signing of Miller last week, the Bruins later said they were moving on from Miller and that he would not join the club.
As of now, though, Miller is still contracted to the organization.
In the statement, Meyer-Crothers said Miller would spit in his face, call him racial slurs and throw food at him, among other things, while they attended school together.
Incredibly heart-breaking read but a necessary one. Our actions or lack thereof, have real-life consequences.

Meyer-Crothers said Miller reached out to him over Snapchat and Instagram and that he said he was “doing stuff in the community and helping the youth and wanted to be my friend.”
“I told him, ‘That’s all cool but where is the proof though?’ He didn’t give me any [proof]. All the lies I have been told from him for so many years I don’t believe what Mitchell told me. He kept asking me to be his friend and that he has changed over the years from what he did. I told him, “I’m not just gonna be your friend after all you did to me.”
Meyer-Crothers said he has received racist messages over social media.
“Mitchell isn’t my friend. It hurts my heart what he did to me. So I just wanted to tell everyone—when Mitchell says we’re friends it isn’t true. I can’t take more of this.”
