team. In 1994 he was Canada's starting goaltender at the World Championships, backstopping Canada to its first gold medal since 1961. After stopping the last Finnish shooter, Mika Nieminen, in the decisive shootout in the gold medal game, Ranford jumped into the air and was mobbed by his teammates. He was chosen to play for Canada a third time in 1996 at the 1996 World Cup of Hockey, but this time he was the third-stringer behind Curtis Joseph and Martin Brodeur, and didn't play in any games. Post-NHL career Ranford played net for the Edmonton Oilers alumni team at the 2003 Heritage Classic, the first outdoor regular-season game in NHL history. Ranford (14 saves) and Grant Fuhr (11 saves) took turns in goal and held the Montreal Canadiens alumni team scoreless in a 2–0 victory. Ranford acted in the 2004 movie Miracle, performing the on-ice scenes behind the mask as the goaltender for Team USA, Jim Craig, because he had the same stand-up style as Craig. Ranford served as the goalie coach for the WHL Vancouver Giants for the 2004–2005 and 2005–2006 seasons. On July 10, 2006, he was named the goaltending coach of the Los Angeles Kings and continues to hold that position. His name would be etched onto the Stanley Cup a third time in 2012, and a fourth time in 2014. He is also a part-owner of the Coquitlam Express of the British Columbia Hockey League (Tier II Junior). His junior team the Red Deer Rebels named their annual team rookie of the year trophy after Ranford, labelling it the Bill Ranford Trophy. Personal life Ranford is the uncle of professional ice hockey player Brendan Ranford. He is married to Kelly, and has two daughters, Cassady and Tristan.
