Kyle Rank (born August 13, 1987) is an American professional ice hockey goaltender. He is currently playing for the Peoria Rivermen of the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL).
Rank attended the Bentley University from 2008 to 2012 where he played NCAA Division I college hockey with the Bentley Falcons men's ice hockey team[1] before turning profession with the Knoxville Ice Bears of the SPHL during the 2011–12 SPHL season. He remained with Knoxville until December 2012 when he was transferred to the Fayetteville FireAntz.
Following a strong start to the 2013–14 SPHL season with the FireAntz, where in eight games he posted one shutout and a 2.25 goals against average, on December 18, 2013, Rank was traded to the Peoria Rivermen[2] where he posted seven more shutouts, establishing a new SPHL record for most shutouts in a single season with eight[3] breaking the previous mark of five set by Riley Gill during the previous season.[4] Rank's outstanding play was recognized when he was named to the 2013–14 SPHL First All-Star Team.[5]
