On Ference's back is a tribute to 3-year-old daughter Ava: a tattoo with her name in flowing letters, flanked by a pair of Haida eagles, traditional artwork of the Haida tribe of British Columbia. Ference has a dozen tattoos, memorializing everything from his Memorial Cup win (an image of the Portland Winter Hawks, his junior team) to his country (a Canadian flag).

Ava's arrival hinted at the end of his motorcycle days. In 1999, after turning pro, Ference purchased a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy from an Edmonton dealer. He went on rides with some of the folks who hung around the shop. He got to know one rider named Des Bekkerus.

One day, Bekkerus showed Ference a snowboarding magazine with a picture of Krista Bradford, her sister. Bekkerus invited Ference to her family's home in Vernon, British Columbia, to meet her sister. The two clicked. They were married in 2002.
