Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - I takaro a Gorges i nga taiohi nui mo tana taone nui o Kelowna Rockets o te Western Hockey League (WHL) mai i te 2000 ki te 2004. Whai muri i te kore o te tau 2002
, i hainatia e ia hei kaihoko koreutu ki te San Jose Sharks. I whakaingoatia a Gorges hei rangatira mo te Team WHL mo te &lt;a href="CHL%20Canada/Russia%20Series%232003%20RE/MAX%20Canada-Russia%20Challenge"&gt; 2003 RE/MAX Canada-Russia Challenge&lt;/a&gt;.
