Among the Boston University hockey program's all-time great
players, Brian Gilmour is also recognized as one of its first
offensive defensemen.
During his three varsity seasons, from 1964 through 1967,
Gilmour registered a number of head-turning statistical totals.
The first defenseman in team history to surpass the 100-points
milestone, he finished his career with 123 career points.
He netted 36 goals and had a total of 87 assists.
As a senior, he registered 41 assists. During each his sophomore
and senior years he led all Terrier defensemen in scoring,
while he tied for top honors as a junior.
Gilmour's efforts helped the Terriers capture three tournaments,
receive an invitation to the NCAA Tournament in 1966 and 1967,
and compile a three-year mark of 77-19-1. During his final
year, the Terriers roared to a 25-5-1 record, swept the ECAC
and Beanpot titles, and finished as the national runner-up.
In 1966, the club won the Beanpot and finished fourth at the
NCAA Championship, while posting a 27-8 record. As a sophomore,
Gilmour helped guide the club to a 25-6 mark, and his rookie
year was spent helping the Terrier freshmen compile an undefeated
15-0-1 slate.
In recognition of his efforts, Gilmour earned All-America
honors in 1967, First Team All-New England status in 1966,
and Honorable Mention All-New England in 1965.
He attained similar success in the classroom, and, in 1967,
he received the E. Ray Speare Award as the school's Outstanding
Senior Male Student-Athlete.
