John Garrett, who spent four decades calling hockey and more than two decades as the primary voice of Vancouver Canucks broadcasts, died suddenly on Tuesday.
The 74-year-old Garrett was found in his hotel room in Salt Lake City on Monday afternoon, where he had been calling the first-round series between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Utah Mammoth.

John Garrett was born in Trenton, Ontario and drafted 38th overall by the St. Louis Blues in 1971. He spent six seasons in the WHA before entering the NHL with the Hartford Whalers in 1979, appearing in 207 games over six seasons with the Whalers, Quebec Nordiques, and Vancouver Canucks.

That partnership ran for 21 seasons until Garrett stepped away from the full-time role in March 2023,
