Gordon was born in Murrayville, British Columbia and raised in Surrey, British Columbia. He was selected in the second round (39th overall) of the 1994 NHL Entry Draft by the Vancouver Canucks following a season in the BCHL with the Powell River Paper Kings. He played college hockey for the Michigan Wolverines alongside future NHL players such as John Madden, Brendan Morrison, and Mike Knuble. After his freshman season, he left the Wolverines and played in the Western Hockey League for the Kelowna Rockets, where he scored 114 points in 58 games. He would play for Canada at the 1996 World Junior Championships, winning a gold medal.

Gordon experienced a difficult transition to professional hockey, in large part due to his sub-par skating. He would score 25 points in 63 games for the Syracuse Crunch, Vancouver's AHL affiliate in 1996–97, and was at one point sent down to the ECHL. The following season, he would record 10 points in 40 games. He was called up to the Canucks in the 1998–99 season, playing four games for the team, while scoring 16 goals and 38 points for Syracuse. However, he was released by Vancouver the following season. Following his release from the Canucks, Gordon spent a season in the International Hockey League with the Long Beach Ice Dogs, recording 18 points in 50 games, and retired in 2000.
