2006-07: Grant spent the campaign with Saint John in the QMJHL. He appeared in 68 games, contributing 12 goals and 20 assists.

2007-08: The past season saw Grant mature on and off the ice as he finished seventh in scoring among defensemen in the QMJHL and first on his team. He saw his ice-time increase as he played in special teams situations and he improved his overall defensive game, finishing with a +17.  Grant’s playoff run was fairly good, posting a point-per-game en route to an appearance in the semi-finals of the President’s Cup.

2010-11: Grant missed the bulk of the season because of a wrist injury sustained in a prospect scrimmage. When he did return, he split time between the ECHL and the AHL, where he managed 5 points in 14 games and 0 points in 4 games respectively.
