As a member of the Victoria Cougars in the 1991–92 season, Passmore set Western Hockey League single season records for most games by a goaltender (71), minutes played (4,228) and most saves (2,562).[1]
After finishing his major junior career with the Kamloops Blazers, Passmore was traded by the Nordiques on March 21, 1994, to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Brad Werenka. In his second season within the Oilers organization, Passmore was limited to just two games with affiliate, the Cape Breton Oilers after he was diagnosed with a career-threatening case of heavy metal poisoning.[2]

During the 2004–05 NHL lockout he played for Adler Mannheim in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga, and in November 2005 he signed with Jokerit in the Finnish SM-liiga to replace Karl Goehring, but Passmore was also a disappointment, and was eventually replaced by Tom Askey. After a short stint with an Austrian club. Graz 99ers in January 2007, he was signed by HCJ Milano Vipers of the Italian Serie A, where he would end his professional career.
Passmore now lives in Kamloops, British Columbia.
