Timeline

1993

Garret Sparks (born June 28, 1993) is an American professional ice hockey goaltender currently signed to play for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League (AHL).

2009

He was drafted by the club in the eighth round, 160th overall in the 2009 OHL Priority Selection.

2010

Sparks played minor league hockey with Chicago Mission of the Tier 3 Elite Hockey League, before joining the Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) in 2010.

2011

Sparks was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the seventh round, 190th overall, in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

, he is one of only 26 goaltenders in league history, and the third most recent, to record a shutout in his NHL debut; Sparks was also the third Maple Leafs goaltender to do so.

Sparks made 19 appearances for the Storm, going 8–6–1 for a .890 save percentage, playing well enough to be picked by the Toronto Maple Leafs 190th overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

2012

Sparks would spend the next two seasons with the Storm, briefly playing in three games for the Maple Leafs' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, at the end of the 2012–13 season.

2013

In 2013, Sparks represented the United States and won gold at the 2013 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship in Russia.

The next year, Sparks would split time between the Marlies and the Orlando Solar Bears of the ECHL.

2014

Entering the 2014–15 season, Sparks was expected to be the Marlies' starting goaltender.

However, a poor training camp lead to goaltenders Christopher Gibson and Antoine Bibeau beating him out on the depth chart, forcing management into sending Sparks down to the Solar Bears for most of the season, only seeing brief time with the Marlies when one of their goaltenders was injured.

Sparks excelled with Orlando, recording a .936 save percentage in the regular season and a .921 save percentage in the playoffs.

During the following season, Gibson was traded to the New York Islanders as part of a trade for Michael Grabner, leaving an empty roster spot on the Marlies.

Sparks succeeded in retaining the job and served as the backup to Bibeau to start the season.

However, an injury to Jonathan Bernier on the Maple Leafs forced management to call up Bibeau, leaving Sparks the temporary starter.

2015

Sparks excelled and was named the AHL's First Star of the Week for November 8, 2015.

Sparks had stopped 96 of 101 shots faced during his time as the starter in Bibeau's absence, which was good enough to hold starting duties once Bibeau returned.

When injury once again plagued the Maple Leafs (this time befalling James Reimer), Sparks was called-up due to his recent solid play.

Following a poor showing against the Washington Capitals after which Jonathan Bernier was publicly criticized by Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock in a post-game interview, Sparks was informed that he would make his first NHL start on November 30, 2015.

In his debut, he recorded 24 saves and a 3–0 shutout win at home against the Edmonton Oilers, the first time in Maple Leafs history that a goaltender recorded a shutout in his debut.

Sparks would play in the next few games before himself suffering an injury.

After recovering, Sparks was sent down to the Marlies.

He would see time as the Marlies' backup, as Bibeau had been playing strong.

In an effort to earn Sparks more ice time, he was sent down to the Solar Bears.

He would play one game for the Solar Bears before being brought back to the Marlies.

In doing so, Sparks achieved a rare feat of playing in all three of the NHL, AHL and ECHL in the same season.

2016

On February 27, 2016, Sparks was called up by the Maple Leafs following the trade of starting goaltender James Reimer.

Sparks would play the remainder of the season with the Maple Leafs, recording disappointing numbers.

Following the completion of the campaign, and with the Maple Leafs out of contention to qualify for the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs, Sparks was sent down to the Marlies to help the first place team in their 2016 Calder Cup playoffs run.

Despite being favorites to win, the Marlies suffered a third-round exit to the Hershey Bears.

In the off-season, Sparks was qualified by the Maple Leafs, in order to retain his negotiating rights.

On July 15, 2016, Sparks signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Maple Leafs worth the league minimum $575,000 at the NHL level and $100,000 at the AHL level, with a guarantee of $150,000.

In November 2016, Sparks was suspended indefinitely by the Maple Leafs for violating team policy after directing violent and sexist language toward a user in an online hockey related Facebook group he is an admiminstrator of.

Responding in defense of someone with disabilities who users were mocking, Sparks wrote, "I want to go to open hockey with you, drag you out to center ice and beat you into a [expletive] pulp until you can't run that [expletive] little mouth of yours. God, you sound like a 13-year-old girl."

When another member objected to Sparks' language, he added, "Girls don't even whine as much as this guy does."

Sparks returned to the team later in December.

2017

During the 2017–18 AHL season, Sparks was named the AHL's goaltender of the month of January after he recorded a 5–0–0–1 record, including two shutouts.

2018

In 2018, Sparks was awarded the Harry "Hap" Holmes Memorial Award as the AHL goaltender with the lowest goals against average, which helped lead the Toronto Marlies to their first Calder Cup.

Sparks' goaltender equipment are a tribute to former NHL players Trevor Kidd and Curtis Joseph, who wore similar designs during their playing careers.

He originally wore Curtis Joseph's #31 with Toronto before Frederik Andersen joined the team and claimed the number.
