Minor hockey career

Gilmour grew up playing minor hockey in his hometown of Kingston, Ontario playing rep for the Kingston Legionnaires program of the OMHA's Eastern Ontario Minor Hockey League. In 1979–80, Gilmour spent time with the local Kingston Voyageurs Jr.B. team before being signed by Floyd Crawford to play for the OHA Jr.A. Belleville Bobcats for their playoff run.

In the spring of 1980, Gilmour was selected in the 5th round of the OHL Priority Selection by the Cornwall Royals of the QMJHL.

St. Louis Blues

Gilmour initially had difficulty reaching a contract with the Blues, who remained concerned that he was too small for the NHL game of the 1980s. Gilmour decided to take his talents abroad and almost resorted to playing professional hockey in Germany. However, two weeks before the 1983–84 NHL season began, Gilmour and the Blues agreed on a contract and he joined the team in time for the start of the season. A rash of injuries and the trust of Blues coach Jaques Demers provided Gilmour with the opportunity to play as the team's fourth line center, and he quickly became a defensive specialist.

During his first three seasons with the Blues, Gilmour was a consistent defensive presence, averaging a solid 50 points a season.

During the 1994 National Hockey League lockout, Gilmour decided to play in a handful of games for the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers of the Swiss League. However, after compiling 2 goals and 13 assists in 9 games for the Lakers, 16 minutes in penalties frustrated Gilmour it was apparent that his physical style did not suit him well in the Swiss League. As a result, Gilmour decided to leave Switzerland and join Wayne Gretzky's all-star hockey tour that was making its way through Europe at the time. Gilmour also took part in the NHLPA's Four-on-Four tournament at the Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario where his Team Ontario defeated Team Quebec in the championship game.

Throughout his six years as a Leaf, Gilmour was one of the most popular players on the team and in the league.
