The hardwood playing surface within the Events Center is named Ted Grant Court[4][5] in honor of G. Edward Grant, a member of Le Moyne's inaugural class of 1951. Grant served as a trustee of Le Moyne College from 1981 to 1987, and was a financial supporter of the athletics program. Le Moyne's turf field is also named in his honor.[6]
