Entering the Western Hockey League, the 2018–19 season was Garand's first full season with the Kamloops Blazers. Although only 16 years old, he became the team's starting goaltender when Dylan Ferguson was injured and led the team to the WHL playoffs.

In the 2018–19 season, Garand played in 42 games and had a 2.21 goals against average and a .921 save percentage. He won the Daryl K. Seaman Trophy as WHL's Scholastic Player of the Year. After the season he was drafted by the New York Rangers in the 4th round of the 2020 NHL entry draft with the 103rd overall selection.

For the 2020–21 season, Garand played in only 18 games, posting a 2.15 goals against average and a .921 save percentage. Garand also played two games for the Rangers' American Hockey League affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack. In two games for Hartford he had a 3.68 goals against average and an .839 save percentage.

In the 2021–22 season, Garand posted a 2.16 goals against average and a .925 save percentage for Kamloops. As a result, he won the Del Wilson Trophy as the top WHL goaltender and was named a First Team All-Star in the WHL B.C. Division. His goals against average and saves percentage were each second in the WHL. His 34 wins was tied for first in the league among goaltenders, and he also tied for fourth in the league in shutouts, with four. Garand was considered by some writers to be the best goalie in the entire Canadian Hockey League, and he won the 2021–22 CHL Goaltender of the Year award.
