Stu Grimson Biography

Stu Grimson is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on May 20, 1965 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Stuart Grimson (born May 20 1965) is a Canadian former professional hockey player. Grimson was a member of the National Hockey League from 1989 until 2002. In this period he was a player in The Calgary Flames, Chicago Blackhawks, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Detroit Red Wings, Hartford Whalers/Carolina Storms, Los Angeles Kings, and Nashville Predators. Grimson was a well-known enforcer with more than 220 penalty minutes during his career. His size, reputation as an athlete, and a reference to his surname earned Grimson the moniker “The Grim Reaper”. Grimson is a native of Vancouver, British Columbia, but lived at Kamloops, British Columbia.

Grimson went on to spend the following two seasons in Anaheim and then was in his final full campaign as a member of the Los Angeles Kings in 2000-01. Grimson remained a highly regarded and highly skilled heavyweight, however, in his final year in Nashville the team was struck by post-concussion symptoms and was forced to quit following an encounter in the ring with Georges Laraque of the Edmonton Oilers. He was already experiencing issues prior to that fight and even admitted to having was black during the fight.

After retiring, Grimson finished his undergraduate degree and began work on a law degree. He completed his law degree in December 2005 at the University of Memphis Law School. He was In-House Counsel for the National Hockey League Players’ Association (2006–2008) and then worked for the Nashville law firm of Kay, Griffin, Enkema & Brothers, PLLC (2008–2012). He worked as a Color Analyst for the Nashville Predators on Fox Sports South and the team’s flagship network, 102.5 The Game, through the 2016-17 season.

During an October 6, 2011 edition of Hockey Night In Canada, Don Cherry accused Grimson, along with Chris Nilan and Jim Thomson, of being ‘pukes’ & ‘hypocrites’ for supposedly making a living as an enforcers and now complaining about it. Grimson, by then a licensed attorney, indicated that he considered legal action against Don Cherry on behalf of himself, Chris Nilan and Jim Thomson citing Cherry’s claims as “baseless and slanderous.” After an apology on Hockey Night in Canada by Cherry, Grimson reconsidered his lawsuit against Cherry stating that “This is a decision for Canadians. The CBC is your network; you pay for it. And you hold the network to certain standards and values.”

In the 1996-97 campaign, he recorded decisive victories over well-known fighters such as Randy McKay, Darren Langdon and Enrico Ciccone, and he defeated Ryan Vandenbussche and Shane Churla of the New York Rangers in one- sided wins. The next season saw Grimson relocate with his team the Whalers to Carolina and in his role as a Hurricane he continued to be a major force on the field. He began a rivalry against Krzysztof Oliwa from the New Jersey Devils that season that saw the two teams fight repeatedly during the subsequent seasons, mostly to the point of a draw.
