As a youth, Grenier played in the 1994 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the Sélects-du-Nord minor ice hockey team.[1]
Drafted by the Colorado Avalanche 45th overall in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft, Grenier was traded to the Boston Bruins along with Brian Rolston, Samuel Pahlsson and a 2000 1st round draft pick for Ray Bourque and Dave Andreychuk on March 6, 2000.[citation needed] Left unsigned by Boston, Grenier signed with the Phoenix Coyotes prior to the 2001–02 season. Since beginning his pro career, he spent most of his time in the AHL with a few callups to the NHL with the Coyotes, Vancouver Canucks, and Philadelphia Flyers.[citation needed]
In the 2008–09 season, Grenier signed with the newly formed KHL, joining Traktor Chelyabinsk and establishing himself as one of the league's premier fighters.[citation needed]
