Career
He was a championship ice hockey player for the Ottawa Silver Seven of the 1900s. Gilmour played several sports, including rugby football with the Ottawa Rough Riders, ice hockey and lacrosse. He also boxed. He participated in all sports as an amateur.
He joined the Silver Seven in 1903, and played only two years of ice hockey, both championship years for Ottawa.
According to Llewelyn Bate, one-time manager of the Ottawa Club, Suddie played "clean", unlike the rest of the team, which was known for its rough play. Gilmour was the fourth son of five children.
He had several business interests, primarily construction contracting. He had retired from contracting several years before his death, which occurred after a six-month-long illness.
Gilmour is buried at Beechwood Cemetery.
