Born in 1974 in Cornwall, Ontario, Grant played three seasons in the Ontario Hockey League with the Newmarket Royals, Niagara Falls Thunder and Ottawa 67's. He made his professional debut during the 1994–95 AHL season with the Adirondack Red Wings of the American Hockey League, but failed to stick with the professional team.
