Killer: My Life in Hockey is the candid memoir of legendary NHL centre Doug Gilmour, one of the most dynamic playmakers of his generation. Nicknamed “Killer” despite his smaller stature, he built a Hall of Fame career on relentless drive, sharp instincts, and clutch performances.

Gilmour recounts his rise from Kingston, Ontario, to a twenty-year NHL career that spanned seven teams. Along the way he tallied 450 goals, 964 assists, and nearly 1,200 regular-season points, plus another 188 points in the playoffs, putting him among the highest-scoring centres in league history.

The book revisits his crucial role in the Calgary Flames’ 1989 Stanley Cup victory, including scoring the Cup-clinching goal, and his unforgettable run with the Toronto Maple Leafs in the early 1990s. Gilmour offers an insider’s view of the controversial 1993 playoff call that denied Toronto a long-awaited return to the Stanley Cup Final.

Known for his honesty with the media, Gilmour brings the same openness here, mixing on-ice battles with off-ice stories, humour, and reflections on teammates, coaches, and the evolving game.
