Grant did the full lap of the ice. The head-to-head races in the NHL skills were a much shorter race (blue line to faceoff dot, down to the opposite faceoff dot and back to the original blue line).
In the NHL skills, only Larkin did a full lap, and they gave him a head start from the blue line (with the clock starting when he crossed centre) and had the nets sitting at the top of the crease. Grant started from a full stop at centre ice and the nets were positioned on the goal line.
