He was selected 13th overall by the [[Phoenix Coyotes]] in the [[2010 NHL Entry Draft]]. During his junior career, he has been named to the QMJHL All-Rookie Team, is a two-time QMJHL Second Team All-Star and won the [[President's Cup (QMJHL)|President's Cup]] with the Wildcats in 2010. Internationally, he has competed in two [[World U-17 Hockey Challenge]]s, one [[Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament]] and one [[World Junior Ice Hockey Championships|IIHF World U20 Championship]]. ==Playing career== ===Junior=== Gormley left his home in [[Prince Edward Island]] at the age of 14 to compete with the [[Athol Murray College of Notre Dame]]'s hockey program in [[Wilcox, Saskatchewan]]. He played two years of [[minor ice hockey|midget hockey]] with the Notre Dame Hounds in the [[Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League]]. In 2007–08, he scored 23 goals and 53 points over 42 games as a 16-year-old, after which the [[Moncton Wildcats]] made him the first overall selection in the 2008 [[Quebec Major Junior Hockey League]] (QMJHL) Draft.<ref name="NHLTrips">{{cite web |last=Kimelman |first=Adam |url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=518609 |title=Gormley hasn't made many bad trips in his hockey life |publisher=National Hockey League |date=2010-02-23 |accessdate=2010-06-07}}</ref> He joined the Wildcats in [[2008–09 QMJHL season|2008–09]] and scored 7 goals and 27 points for Moncton in 62 games.

Individually, he was voted the recipient of the [[Mike Bossy Trophy]] in 2010 as the Quebec League's top professional prospect.<ref name="QMJHLChamps" /> He was also named a Second-Team QMJHL All-Star. Gormley finished the season highly rated for the [[2010 NHL Entry Draft]]. The [[NHL Central Scouting Bureau]] listed him sixth among North American skaters, while the International Scouting Services listed him third among all skaters.<ref name="CS">{{cite web |title=Final Rankings Domestic Skaters |publisher=NHL Central Scouting |url=http://centralscouting.nhl.com/link3/sections/cs/resources/2010draft/FinalRankingsDomesticSkaters.pdf |accessdate=2010-04-07}}</ref><ref name="ISS">{{cite web |title=2010 ISS Top 30 |publisher=The Sports Network |url=http://tsn.ca/draftcentre/feature/?id=11963 |accessdate=2010-04-30}}</ref> Scouts described Gormley as "well rounded, but not dynamic" and praised his intelligence on the ice and ability to move the puck.<ref name="THNDraftPreview">{{cite journal |last=Adams |first=Alan |title=Top prospects gun for no. 1 |work=The Hockey News |date=June 2010 |issn=0018-3016 |page=24}}</ref> Gormley went on to be selected 13th overall by the [[Phoenix Coyotes]]. He attended his first NHL training camp in September 2010 before being returned to the Wildcats. Playing in his third QMJHL season, Gormley recorded 13 goals and 48 points over 47 games; he was named to the QMJHL Second All-Star Team for the second consecutive year. He added an assist over five post-season games as the Wildcats were eliminated in the first round of the QMJHL playoffs, failing to defend their league title. With his junior season over, the Coyotes assigned him to their [[American Hockey League]] (AHL) affiliate, the [[San Antonio Rampage]]. He played in four AHL games, recording an assist. In his fourth season with the Wildcats, Gormley played 26 games before being traded to complete his junior career with the [[Shawinigan Cataractes]] hours before the January 7, 2012 QMJHL trade deadline. ===Professional=== Gormley was assigned to the Coyotes' new AHL affiliate, the [[Portland Pirates]], to begin his first full professional season in [[2012-13 AHL season|2012–13]] season. He appeared in 68 games with the Pirates and ranked second among the blueline with 24 assists and 29 points. In the second year of his entry-level contract, Gormley remained with the Pirates, quickly assuming leadership responsibilities to be selected as an Alternate Captain for the [[2013-14 AHL season|2013–14]] season. Gormley was used heavily in all situations with the Pirates, and was placing 8th in the AHL in scoring amongst blueliners, before he received his first NHL recall by Phoenix on March 7, 2014. He made his NHL debut on March 10, 2014, against the [[Tampa Bay Lightning]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports-content/hockey/nhl/game/1346379/recap/ |title=Vrbata scores in SO; Coyotes top Bolts 4-3 |publisher=CBS Sports |accessdate=2014-11-17}}</ref> Gormley featured in 5 games with the Coyotes going scoreless before he was returned to Portland to finish the season with new career offensive highs in across the board. Approaching the final year of his rookie contract with the Coyotes, Gormley failed to establish a first team position and was familiarly reassigned to the Portland Pirates to begin the [[2014-15 NHL season|2014–15]] season. During his first recall of the season to Arizona, Gormley scored his first NHL goal on November 16, 2014, against [[Ben Scrivens]] of the [[Edmonton Oilers]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/recap?id=2014020265 |title=Dubnyk solid again in Coyotes' win vs. Oilers |publisher=[[National Hockey League]] |accessdate=2014-11-17}}</ref> With the Coyotes languishing in the standings, Gormley was recalled on several occasions throughout the season, and although given opportunity failed to cement a regular position among the defense corps. He finished the season having appeared in a career high 27 games for 4 points. On July 31, 2015, Gormley was re-signed by the Coyotes to a one-year, two-way contract.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://coyotes.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=776497 | title = Coyotes sign Gormley to one-year contract | publisher = ''[[Arizona Coyotes]]'' | date = 2015-07-31 | accessdate = 2015-08-06}}</ref> Unable to develop as the Coyotes had hoped and with his eligibility to waivers, Gormely was traded by Arizona to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for the rights to restricted-free agent [[Stefan Elliott]] on September 9, 2015.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://avalanche.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=778580 | title = Avalanche acquires Gormley from Arizona | publisher = ''[[Colorado Avalanche]]'' | date = 2015-09-09 | accessdate = 2015-09-09}}</ref> Gormley made the Avalanche roster to begin the [[2015-16 NHL season|2015–16]] season, making his debut with Colorado in a 1-0 overtime defeat to the [[Carolina Hurricanes]] on October 21, 2015.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/recap?id=2015020091 | title = Hurricanes top Avalanche on Rask's OT goal | publisher = ''[[National Hockey League]]'' | date = 2015-10-21 | accessdate = 2015-10-21}}</ref> Used in a depth role, Gormley recorded his first point with the Avs in his 22nd game, registering an assist in a 3-1 victory over the [[St. Louis Blues]] on December 13, 2015.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/recap?id=2015020446 | title = Varlamov solid again, Avalanche defeat Blues | publisher = ''[[National Hockey League]]'' | date = 2015-12-13 | accessdate = 2015-12-14}}</ref> Unable to secure a position on the blueline, Gormley was placed on waivers by the Avalanche on January 7, 2016.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2016/01/07/avs-waive-former-first-rounder-gormley/ | title = Avs waive former first-rounder Gormley | publisher = ''[[NBC Sports]]'' | date = 2016-01-07 | accessdate = 2016-01-07}}</ref> After going unclaimed, he was later assigned to former AHL club, the San Antonio Rampage, on January 13, 2016.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.denverpost.com/avalanche/ci_29379513/nate-guenin-avalanche-defenseman-placed-waivers | title = Avs place Nate Guenin on waivers, recall Bigras and Zadorov | publisher = ''[[Denver Post]]'' | date = 2016-01-13 | accessdate = 2016-01-13}}</ref> Gormley remained with the Rampage until the season closed, and on June 27, 2016, he was not offered a new contract from the Avalanche, releasing him to free agency.<ref>{{citeweb| url = http://bsndenver.com/avalanche-qualify-siemens-plus-4-let-10-walk/ | title = Avalanche qualify Siemens, let 10 walk | publisher = ''bsndenver.com'' | date = 2016-06-27 | accessdate = 2016-06-27}}</ref> On July 28, 2016, Gormley was signed as a free agent to a one-year, two-way contract with the [[New Jersey Devils]].<ref>{{citeweb| url = http://devils.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=890279 | title = Devils sign Brandon Gormley to one-year contract | publisher = ''[[New Jersey Devils]]'' | date = 2016-07-28 | accessdate = 2016-07-28}}</ref> In the [[2016-17 AHL Season|2016-17]] season, Gormley cleared waivers and was assigned to add leadership to the blueline of AHL affiliate, the [[Albany Devils]].
