[2] He scored a hat-trick and was later named PeeWee-A MVP. [3] Gawdin was allowed to bypass minor hockey a year early to play with the Seafair Islanders Midget A1 team. [4] [1]

At the age of 15, Gawdin played major midget hockey with the Greater Vancouver Canadians while studying at McRoberts Secondary School. [1] That year, he was drafted fifth overall by the Swift Current Broncos in the 2012 WHL bantam draft and became the first Broncos player from his draft class to sign with the team. [5] During the 2012–13 season, he played two games with the Swift Current Broncos after scoring 25 points in 18 games with the Greater Vancouver Canadians. [6] The following season, Gawdin became a mainstay on the Broncos line up where he put up 22 points in 66 games as a rookie. He recorded his first WHL point with an assist on Julius Honka's first WHL goal on September 19, 2013, against the Regina Pats. [7]

The St. Louis Blues selected Gawdin in the 4th round (116th overall) of the 2015 NHL entry draft, making him the first Richmond product to be drafted in an NHL entry draft since Raymond Sawada in 2004. [8]

Prior to the 2016–17 season, Gawdin attended the St. Louis Blues training camp. [9] He returned to the WHL without an NHL contract and was named captain of the Broncos. [10] At the conclusion of the season, Gawdin was voted Team MVP. [11]

On November 16, 2017, Gawdin signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Calgary Flames after attending their training camp.

Following his debut, he made six more appearances with the Flames and spent time with their taxi squad before being returned to Stockton. [24] In his sixth game, a 6–1 win over the Ottawa Senators on May 9, 2021, Gawdin registered his first NHL point; an assist on Michael Stone's goal. [25] During the 2021–22 season, Gawdin appeared in two more games with the Flames, going pointless, while spending the rest of the season with the Heat. [26]

As an unrestricted free agent from the Flames after four seasons, Gawdin was signed to a two-year, $1.525 million contract with the Anaheim Ducks on July 13, 2022.
