After playing hockey in college for the University of Windsor, Hillman played professionally for the Toledo Storm of the ECHL, the Odessa Jackalopes of the Western Professional Hockey League and Central Hockey League, EV Duisburg of Oberliga, and the El Paso Buzzards of the Western Professional Hockey League.[1][2][3] He also played roller hockey for the Buffalo Wings of both Roller Hockey International and Major League Roller Hockey.[2]

After retiring from playing, Hillman became the head coach of the Knoxville Ice Bears of the Southern Professional Hockey League, winning both back-to-back regular season titles and league championships for both the 2007-08 season and 2008-09 season.[1][2][3]
