Manitoba Moose News Release

The Vancouver Canucks today announced they have recalled defenceman/forward Martin Grenier from the Manitoba Moose.

Grenier, 23, is leading the Moose in penalty minutes this season with 109 through 28 games. He missed 20 games earlier this season with post-concussion syndrome suffered in an off-ice incident in November. So far, the Laval, PQ native has four goals and seven points in his first year with Manitoba.

Last season, Grenier played in 69 games with the AHL's Springfield Falcons, scoring two goals and eight points as well as collecting 241 penalty minutes. He also appeared in three games with the Phoenix Coyotes, failing to register a point.

In his career, Grenier has played in eight games in the NHL, all with the Phoenix Coyotes. In that span, he's failed to register a point and has collected five penalty minutes. He's appeared in 170 games in his AHL career with Springfield and Manitoba, collecting eight goals and 27 points, along with 582 penalty minutes.

Grenier was acquired by Vancouver in a trade with Phoenix in exchange for Bryan Helmer on July 25, 2003. He was originally drafted by the Colorado Avalanche, 45th overall in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.
