Ralph was a career minor-leaguer, highlighted by playing one game in the NHL. He skated in the ECHL (for the Mississippi Sea Wolves, Augusta Lynx, Dayton Bombers, Columbia Inferno, and Charlotte Checkers) and American Hockey League (for the Springfield Falcons and Hershey Bears) in the United States, as well as a season each for Alleghe HC in Serie A in Italy and AaB Ishockey in the AL-Bank Ligaen in Denmark.
After his playing career, Ralph began coaching hockey, spending two years as head coach for the Augusta RiverHawks in the Southern Professional Hockey League and of the Idaho Steelheads in the ECHL.[1]
On August 4, 2015, Ralph was named head coach of the Western Hockey League's Kelowna Rockets.[2]
On July 12, 2016, he was named the head coach of the Florida Everblades in the ECHL.[3][4] He was named Coach of the Year for the 2017–18 season.[5]
Ralph guided the Florida Everblades to an ECHL record three consecutive Kelly Cup Championships in 2022, 2023 and 2024, which was the first three-peat in ECHL history.[6]
