Paul Ranheim Biography

Paul Ranheim is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on January 25, 1966 in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. Paul Stephen Ranheim (born January 25 26th, 1966 at St. Louis, Missouri and grew up in Edina, Minnesota) is an American professional ice hockey player who played for 15 seasons with the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Calgary Flames, Hartford Whalers, Carolina Hurricanes, Philadelphia Flyers and Phoenix Coyotes. He was a second-round choice, 38th overall in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft and played 1 013 games between 1988 and 2003. In the international arena, he played for Team USA; He played in three World Championships and was a participant in the bronze medal winning team at the 1986 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.

In joining the Flames full-time from 1989 to 1990, Ranheim appeared in all 80 games and scored 26 goals as well as 54 points. The first NHL goal, as well as points, occurred on October 5, 1989 in which he scored and recorded two assists against goalie Glen Hanlon of the Detroit Red Wings. Ranheim was also a part of an NHL record-breaking performance on the 17th of October. In the following game, after Doug Gilmour scored at 19:45 of the third quarter in the third period against Quebec Nordiques, Ranehim added another goal at 19:49. Both goals, which were scored with a shorthanded goal, pushed the Flames to an 8-8 draw. With just four seconds between them, Gilmour and Ranheim tied the NHL record (since broken) for the fastest two goals scored by one team. In addition, they established the record for the fastest shorthanded goals scored in two seconds. Ranheim was the first player to join Team USA following the NHL season at the 1990 World Ice Hockey championships. Ranheim scored four goals over seven matches for fourth placed Americans.

Despite his early hopes of improving his offense in 1994–95, his role continued to become increasingly defensive and focused on penalty killing over time. He finished the lockout-shortened season with six goals and 20 points in 47 games, then scored 30 and 21 points in the following two seasons. He made his third appearance with Team USA at the 1997 Men’s World Ice Hockey Championships where he scored two goals in eight games. The Whalers franchise relocated, and Ranheim with it, to become the Carolina Hurricanes in 1997–98. He recorded 14 points, but his value as a defensive specialist earned him a contract extension from the Hurricanes.

A 21-goal season followed in 1992–93, however head coach Dave King began to convert Raneheim into a defensive forward. Trying to defend against the opposition’s top players, he lost confidence in his own offensive game. Ranheim had only 24 points in 66 games when the Flames, struggling to win games and wanting to improve their defence, made a trade. He was sent, along with Gary Suter and Ted Drury, to the Hartford Whalers on March 10, 1994, in exchange for Michael Nylander, Zarley Zalapski and James Patrick. Though he was expected to provide an offensive boost to the Whalers, Ranheim’s lack of confidence continued to affect him, and he recorded only three assists in 15 games to end the season.

When he turned professional in 1988-89 Ranhiem received a transfer from the Flames to their International Hockey League (IHL) affiliate known as The Salt Lake Golden Eagles. He played the major portion of the year at Salt Lake, but appeared in five games for the Flames and made their NHL debut on the 29th of December 1988, when he played with the Montreal Canadiens. As a member of The Golden Eagles, Ranheim’s 68 goals were the top scorer in the league and set a franchise record and was the fourth-highest score in all the history of pro hockey. Ranheim was selected as a member of the IHL Second All-Star Team and was awarded the Ken McKenzie Trophy as the U.S. born rookie of the year as well as the Gary F. Longman Memorial Trophy for the top overall most promising rookie.
