Russell Howard Gillow is a retired professional ice hockey player who played 109 games in the World Hockey Association with the Los Angeles Sharks and San Diego Mariners. As a 32-year-old rookie in the 1972–73 WHA season, Gillow was 2nd to Cleveland's Gerry Cheevers in lowest goals against average and helped the Los Angeles Sharks to a 3rd-place finish and playoff berth. It was Gillow who was behind the net when Bobby Hull of the Winnipeg Jets scored his 77th goal on April 6, 1975 in the 1974–75 WHA season to set a then-record for goals in a season by a professional hockey player.
