Personal Life
In 1982 Gillies and three teammates — Bob Nystrom, Wayne Merrick, and Gordie Lane — stripped to their briefs in the February issue of Penthouse magazine for a fashion layout promoting the latest in men's underwear.
Gillies' nephew Colton currently plays for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
He is the father-in-law to his former teammates son, and current editor of The Backhand Shelf Justin Bourne.
Despite having the same last name and playing for the same team, Clark Gillies is not related to Islanders enforcer Trevor Gillies.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Picture the prince, such as most of them are today: a man ignorant of the law, well-nigh an enemy to his people’s advantage, while intent on his personal convenience, a dedicated voluptuary, a hater of learning, freedom and truth, without a thought for the interests of his country, and measuring everything in terms of his own profit and desires.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“If we live in the Nineteenth Century, why should we not enjoy the advantages which the Nineteenth Century offers? Why should our life be in any respect provincial?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
