Bison Sign Grant Porter For 2026-27 Season

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – Bloomington Bison Head Coach and VP of Hockey Operations Phillip Barski announced today the team has signed forward Grant Porter to a standard player contract for the 2026-27 season.

Porter, 24, scored six goals and amassed 19 points in 16 games with the Bison after finishing his senior season at Canisius University and signing his first professional contract on March 12. 

The 6-foot, 181-pound winger recorded 35 points (12g-23a) in 35 games at Canisius during the 2025-26 campaign and totaled 57 points (26g-31a) in 85 career NCAA Division-I games.

Prior to joining the collegiate ranks, Porter played in the USHL and NCDC. During the 2020-21 season he tallied 44 points (17g-27a) in 33 games with the NCDC’s New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs. The following season, he registered 20 points (9g-11a) in 57 games with the USHL’s Youngstown Phantoms.

Porter skated in all six of Bloomington’s playoff games last spring and recorded six points (3g-3a). He set a Bison record for the most points in a single game when he had five assists against the Greenville Swamp Rabbits on April 9 and was just the fourth player in team history to have a multi-point debut.
