Grant was previously with the Kelowna Chiefs of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL).
In the 2019-20 season, Grant played 21 games with the Thompson Blazers of the BC Major Midget League, where he sported a 10-10 record, along with 3.19 goals against average.
Grant also affiliated and played in one game with the Vernon Vipers last season.

Jeremy Matte didn’t keep every puck out of the net, but he still got a shutout.
Matte stopped 26 shots Saturday as the Cariboo Cougars downed the South Island Royals in a B.C. Major Midget League game at the CN Centre, but one puck did get by him.
With the Cougars up 2-0 early in the third period, South Island got the puck into the Cariboo goal, but the officials rules it had been intentionally directed in by a Royals player with his body, and the goal was disallowed.
