Mylymok currently serves as Idaho IceWorld?s Hockey Director.Mylymok was voted to represent the Steelheads at the West Coast Hockey League?s 2001 All-Star Game, and as the Steelheads celebrated its ten-year tenure during the 2006-07 season, Mylymok was selected to be one of two defenseman on the First All-Decade Team, voted on by fans, alumni, coaches, and media.Cal Ingraham is the only other Steelheads player to have his jersey number retired.
