or "Tommy", was a Canadian ice hockey executive, sports entrepreneur and athlete.

Gorman was a founder of the National Hockey League (NHL), won the Stanley Cup seven times as a general manager with four teams, and an Olympic gold medal-winning lacrosse player for Canada.

Ted Dey, principal owner of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey Association, had trouble recruiting players for the 1916–17 season and hired Mr. Gorman to do the task.

In November 1917, Gorman, George Kennedy, Sam Lichtenhein and Mike Quinn all played a part in suspending the NHA and forming the National Hockey League in an effort to rid themselves of Toronto NHA owner Eddie Livingstone.

When the president of Agua Caliente sold the racetrack in 1932, Gorman was briefly out of sports.

He is the only person to manage four different teams to championships: the Senators, Black Hawks, Maroons and Canadiens.

In 1937, he took over management of the Connaught Park Racetrack, a horse race track in Aylmer QC, near Ottawa, of which he had been a part-owner since 1925.

Gorman was managing the race track when he died of cancer at a hospital in Ottawa at the age of 74.

After Gorman's death from cancer in 1961, his sons continued to operate the Auditorium until its demolition in 1967 and Connaught until 1984.
