Ice hockey

Playing career

During the 2010–11 season of the Provincial Women's Hockey League, Grigg played for the Oakville Jr. Hornets and served as team captain. [1]

NCAA

Grigg played college ice hockey with the RIT Tigers women's ice hockey program from 2011 to 2015. [3] The RIT Tigers competed in the ECAC West conference of NCAA Division III women's ice hockey during Grigg's freshman season (2011–12) before moving up to the College Hockey America (CHA) conference of the NCAA Division I ahead of the 2012–13 season. [4] A defencively-minded skater, Grigg flexed between playing as a defenceman and as a forward forward throughout her four seasons with RIT. [5]

During the 2011–12 season, Grigg contributed to the Tigers' record-setting 28–1–1 win-loss record while primarily playing on the top defensive pairing. In the semifinals of the 2012 NCAA Division III women's ice hockey tournament against the Plattsburgh State Cardinals, she scored the game winning goal in overtime to send the Tigers to the national championship game. [6]

She was co-captain of the team as a junior and senior, sharing the role with future RIT Tigers head coach Celeste Brown during both seasons. [7] [8]

Grigg scored the game-winning goal of the 2014 CHA championship to secure the RIT Tigers' first conference championship title in NCAA Division I play. Her goal came with 6:17 remaining in second overtime versus the Mercyhurst Lakers and earned a 2–1 victory for the Tigers. [9] [10]

Elite leagues

On July 13, 2015, Grigg signed a professional contract with the Buffalo Beauts for the inaugural season of the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL). [11] [12] [13] [14]

For the 2016–17 season, Grigg signed with HV71 in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL). [15] [16] [17]
