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. He joined the Memphis RiverKings of the Central Hockey League (CHL) for the 1995–96 CHL season, where he won the CHL Rookie of the Year Trophy. Grant remained with the RiverKings for another five seasons, and retired from professional hockey following the 2000–01 CHL season.
