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.
