Gardner played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Detroit Red Wings and Vancouver Canucks, and in the World Hockey Association (WHA) for the Los Angeles Sharks and Vancouver Blazers, in a career that lasted from 1963 until 1974. After several years with the Red Wings and their minor league affiliates, Gardner joined the Canucks as they entered the NHL in 1970, becoming their first goalie.
