Jets Sign Denver Champion Garrett Brown to Two-Year Entry-Level Deal

The move brings a two-time NCAA champion into Winnipeg’s pipeline with reported plans for immediate AHL action.

Overview

  • The Jets announced the two-year entry-level deal Thursday, bringing the 22-year-old defenseman into the pro ranks.
  • Multiple outlets report he also signed an amateur tryout with the AHL Manitoba Moose, a short-term pact that lets him play right away as the team prepares for the Calder Cup Playoffs.
  • Brown just helped Denver win the 2026 NCAA title after a season with 14 points and a plus-12 rating in 34 games.
  • At 6-foot-3 and right-handed, he is viewed as a mobile, two-way puck mover who breaks out cleanly and defends well with his stick.
  • Winnipeg drafted him 99th overall in 2022 after two USHL seasons with Sioux City and Waterloo, charting a path from junior to college to the Jets system.
