He broke the color barrier in 1956 Sugar Bowl. Chris, Mike’s brother is currently the general manager of the Miami Dolphins. Roosevelt “Rosey”, a Pro Bowl NFL defensive lineman, is another notable athlete in his extended family.

Grier was traded by the Washington Capitals to Washington Capitals on October 2, 2002 in order to clear roster space. He received a pair draft options. Simon and Grier were subsequently placed on the same team for a brief time. Simon was then traded to Chicago after he played 10 games in 2002-03. The Capitals tried to build a Stanley Cup-caliber team, primarily based around goaltender Olaf Kolzig and star forward Jaromir Jagr. Although the team was disappointing on the ice Grier remained a reliable checker.

Grier was raised in Holliston, Massachusetts, where he attended and played hockey at St. Sebastian’s School. At age 9 Michael appeared in Sports Illustrated’s “Faces In The Crowd” section in issue 06-18-84/Vol. 60, No. 25, it read: Michael, 9, a defenseman for the 35-19-8 Holliston Mites in the 7-to-9 year-old division of the Westboro ice hockey league, had 114 goals and 43 assists this season. In 1982-1983 he racked up 113 goals and 104 assists in 52 games.

Grier’s biggest contribution to the San Jose Sharks and Buffalo Sabres has been his penalty killing ability. San Jose ranked 14th, 1st, and 4th in penalty killing in the three years Grier played with the team. In the 2009–10 season, Buffalo was second overall in the NHL in penalty killing. Grier has been a part of the top penalty killing units for these teams.

Grier, who had just graduated from college, was immediately drafted by the Oilers as a right-winger in the checking-line position. He scored 32 points and earned a respectable +7 plusminus rating. Grier is best remembered for his infuriating Chris Simon, Washington Capitals’ 1997 center-forward, during his time in Edmonton. Grier is alleged to have made disparaging comments about Simon’s Ojibwa heritage. Simon then allegedly responded with a racist slur directed towards Grier and hit him with his stick. Simon was suspended for three games after hitting Grier with his stick. Although the words were not confirmed, Grier was a six-season Oilers player, scoring twenty goals in two of them.
