Here are the latest verifiable updates I found about John Garrett:
Multiple outlets reported the death of John Garrett, the longtime Vancouver Canucks broadcaster and former NHL goalie, on April 27, 2026. He is described as a beloved figure in Canadian hockey who spent over two decades with the Canucks and more than 40 years in broadcasting.[3][4][5]
The announcements from Sportsnet and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman expressed profound sadness and highlighted Garrett’s influence in Western Canadian hockey broadcasting and his decades-long career behind the mic.[4][5]
A brief note across sources confirms his age at death as 74, with retirement-era coverage marking his passing as a significant loss to the hockey community.[5][3]
