Gilmour was nicknamed "Killer" by a Blues teammate due to his likeness in appearance to serial killer Charles Manson (though others have attributed it to his physical style of play despite his small stature).

In 1982–83, Gilmour was named the most outstanding player in the OHL after he scored 177 points, one of the highest totals in league history.
