Michael Gilchrist tweeted late last night that he has officially changed his last name from Gilchrist to Kidd-Gilchrist in homage to his father and uncle. Both men are deceased, his father (Michael Gilchrist Sr.) in 1996 and his uncle (Darrin Kidd) on the day he was set to sign with the Cats.
This is not the first homage Kidd-Gilchrist has made, he will be wearing the #14 on his jersey for the Cats, a remembrance of his late father’s birthday: April 14th.
