John Garrett was a well-known commentator alongside fellow broadcaster John Shorthouse for Vancouver Canucks games on Sportsnet Pacific for over two decades. He announced his retirement at the end of the 2022-23 season, and his final game was on April 14, 2023. After his retirement, there was speculation about who would replace him on the Canucks regional telecasts. On September 15, 2023, it was announced that Dave Tomlinson and Ray Ferraro would split the role about 80/20. John Shorthouse will continue to be the play-by-play announcer for Canucks games.
