I think it shows how having good team success can lead to individual success, and we are going to keep that going.”

“Grant has earned this recognition through the work he puts in every single day. He’s a player who leads by example, competes hard, and continues to find ways to make an impact on our team. To break the franchise goal-scoring record in his 100th game is an incredible accomplishment and a reflection of the commitment he’s made to this program. I’m proud of the player and teammate he’s become.”
