Ranald John McDonald, known as Ran, was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who lived from 21 November 1889 to 29 January 1950. Born in Cashion's Glen, Ontario, he played for senior teams in Fort William and Port Arthur before joining the new New Westminster Royals of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association. He played eight seasons in that league before 1919, was named to its first all-star team in 1912, 1913 and 1914, and also played for the Portland Rosebuds, Victoria Aristocrats and Spokane Canaries over 159 games in professional and amateur leagues. He played in the 1919 Stanley Cup Final, which was cancelled after five games because of the Spanish flu pandemic, and finished his career in 1920-21 with the Edmonton Dominions of the Big Four League. He also played lacrosse with the Vancouver Lacrosse Club.
