Keenan Rancier joins the Knights following a successful collegiate run at Minnesota State & UVM and a strong junior hockey career in Western Canada. A 6’2” left-catching goaltender from Victoria, British Columbia, Rancier is known for his composure in the crease, technical skill, and ability to rise to the occasion in high-pressure situations.

Rancier developed in the BCHL with the Prince George Spruce Kings before establishing himself as a top starter in the SJHL with the Estevan Bruins. During the 2019–20 season in Estevan, he led the league with 48 appearances and was named the team’s Playoff MVP, posting a remarkable .955 save percentage and 1.69 goals-against average in the postseason.

He committed to Minnesota State and steadily grew into a dependable collegiate netminder. After making his debut in 2021–22, he became a regular starter as a sophomore, recording 19 wins with a 1.86 GAA and .914 save percentage. His junior season was highlighted by a CCHA Goaltender of the Week honor following a dominant performance against Arizona State, where he stopped 56 of 57 shots across a weekend series.

In April 2024, Rancier transferred to the University of Vermont to continue his collegiate career in Hockey East. He appeared in 14 games during the 2024–25 season, bringing experience, leadership, and a steady presence in goal to the Catamounts.
