Remembering John Garrett and His Vancouver Canucks Legacy

Following his passing on April 28, 2026, fans and former players celebrated his remarkable connection to the team.
On October 20, 2026, Vancouver prepared a special tribute to Garrett during its home game against Carolina. Head coach Manny Malhotra reflected on Garrett’s enthusiasm, personality, and lasting influence on the organization.
