After the 1952 Winter Olympics where the Canada men's national ice hockey team won the gold medal,Grimston recommended withdrawal from Olympic hockey since European nations would never agree to ice hockey rules which allowed physical play. Grimston later accused International Ice Hockey Federation vice-president Bunny Ahearne of financially exploiting of the Edmonton Mercurys on a European tour,which led to a physical altercation between them.
