A member of the 1977-78 Varsity Blues OUAA championship team, Grant came to the University of Toronto in 1977 after successful junior hockey careers with the Buffalo Tondas, St. Catharines Black Hawks and the Kitchener Rangers. Grant was named an OUAA first team all-star defenceman in his second year of intercollegiate competition.
Grant was selected to the national hockey team in 1979 and went on to represent Canada at the 1980 Winter Olympics. Before returning to finish his degree at the University of Toronto, he played one year for Modo in the Swedish Elite League and was a player-coach for one year in Tokyo.
