Playing career

As a youth, Gillies played in the 2007 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the Middlesex Islanders minor ice hockey team, along with teammates Matt Grzelcyk and Miles Wood.[2]

Gillies played collegiate hockey with the Providence Friars in the NCAA Men's Division I Hockey East conference. In his freshman year, Gillies's outstanding play was rewarded with a selection to the 2012–13 All-Hockey East First Team.[3] He was the starting goaltender for the United States at the 2014 World Juniors and played nearly every minute of the tournament, but failed to medal. During his junior season, Gillies led the Friars to the NCAA title, being chosen as the Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player.[4]

On April 15, 2015, Gillies ended his collegiate career by signing a three-year entry level contract with the Calgary Flames.[5]

On April 6, 2017, Gillies played his first NHL game of his career against the Los Angeles Kings.[6] After stopping 27 shots, he recorded his first NHL career win, 4–1. He did not play during the Flames short lived playoff run and was assigned to their American Hockey League affiliate, the Stockton Heat, to help them finish their playoff season.[7]

Personal life

Gillies comes from a hockey family. His grandfather, Bruce Sr., played at Norwich University. His father, Bruce, not only played at the University of New Hampshire, where he is a member of the school's Hall of Fame, but in the International Hockey League where he led the Muskegon Lumberjacks to the Turner Cup championship in 1985–86 and met his future wife, Debbie. His uncle, Chris, was a goalie at the University of Denver.[8][9]

gollark: In my case, it's mostly idling.
gollark: A weird quirk of my desktop is that the OS can set the fan speed to *higher*, but not *lower*, than the one the BIOS wants.
