Daniel Frederick Grant (born February 21, 1945 in Fredericton, New Brunswick) is a retired Canadian ice hockey left winger, who played in the National Hockey League for parts of fourteen seasons, most notably for the Minnesota North Stars.

In his career, Grant notched 263 goals and 535 points while playing for the Montreal Canadiens, Minnesota North Stars, Detroit Red Wings and the Los Angeles Kings, and played in three All-Star Games (1969, 1970, 1971).

Frederick John Charles "Buster" Harvey (April 2, 1950 – November 25, 2007) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played 407 games in the National Hockey League for the Detroit Red Wings, Minnesota North Stars, Kansas City Scouts, and Atlanta Flames. He died at the age of 57 years, eight months after being diagnosed with cancer.

He was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

A new hockey arena in Fredericton will be named after him, at the behest of his longtime friend Danny Grant.[1]

In memorial to Buster Harvey, a tournament is held every year in Fredericton, named the Annual Buster Harvey Memorial Peewee AAA hockey tournament. In 2013, Tayah Sommer, a female goaltender for the Peewee AAA Fredericton Caps, was the first female player, in the 6 year history of the tournament, to receive the tournament’s "Unsung Hero" award. The award was presented by Mrs. Harvey at the newly opened Grant Harvey Arena in Fredericton.
