Kilrea played junior hockey with the University of Ottawa in 1935-36 and senior hockey with the Pontiac, Michigan team in the Michigan-Ontario League the next two seasons. The Detroit Red Wings signed him as a free agent in 1938. He made it to only one game with the Wings in 1938-39 but that increased to 40 games the next season. He split the next two seasons between the Wings and their Indianapolis Capitals farm team. In 1942-43 Kilrea returned to senior hockey with several teams in Ottawa, especially the Allan Cup-winning Ottawa Commandos.
