context_page_description: Jason John Maxwell Garrison is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenseman currently playing with Djurgårdens IF of the Swedish Hockey League.
  Garrison played two years of Junior A with the Nanaimo Clippers of the British Columbia Hockey League, during which time he earned a scholarship to play college hockey with the University of Minnesota Duluth. Following his third NCAA year, he signed with the Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League as an undrafted free agent in 2008. Garrison spent four years with the Panthers organization, setting franchise records for single-season goals and power play goals by a defenceman in 2011–12.
context_section_description: Following his release from his contract with the Blackhawks, as a free agent, Garrison opted to pursue a career abroad, promptly signing his first contract abroad in agreeing to play for the remainder of the 2018–19 season in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) with Djurgårdens IF on January 7, 2019. Garrison played 20 games during the last half of the regular season, and scored 4 goals and 10 points. Garrison and Djurgården went on to a successful SHL playoff and eventually reached the finals against Frölunda HC, where the team lost 2–4 in games. Garrison played a total of 19 playoff games and scored 6 points. He extended his contract with Djurgården in May 2019 for another season, allowing him to play in the 2019–20 SHL season, but was unable to join the team until the middle of November due to tax regulations.
