In Peewee, he and fellow future pro hockey player Jeff Finley won the BC provincial championships. The experienced Red Wings proved to be too much to handle for the Capitals as Detroit swept the series in four games and won back-to-back Stanley Cup championships. In the summer of 1997, after a seven-game loss to Edmonton in the first round of the playoffs, Gilchrist became an unrestricted free agent and signed a new contract with the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings.
