The Calgary Flames announced today that Ryan Huska has been named head coach. Huska becomes the 24th head coach in the history of the franchise*.
"Following a detailed search process, today we are proud to introduce Ryan Huska as Head Coach of the Calgary Flames," stated General Manager Craig Conroy. "While continuity and familiarity are a benefit, we have witnessed first-hand Ryan's work ethic; he is a clear communicator who builds trust with his players; and he's a critical thinker with a plan.
"Ryan provides 11 seasons of bench experience as a head coach from the WHL and the AHL and over 20 years coaching in total, including knowledge gained as an assistant coach in Calgary for the past five seasons. Ryan has earned this opportunity and we are confident he is the right coach for our team."
Huska has coached in the Flames organization since the 2014-15 season in which he was appointed head coach of the Flames' American Hockey League affiliate in Adirondack. He would go on to coach the Flames top prospects in Stockton before becoming an assistant coach with the Flames in 2018. In four years as an AHL bench boss, Huska posted a 135-118-27 record while fostering the development of several future NHL players including current Flames Rasmus Andersson, Andrew Mangiapane, and Oliver Kylington.
