The Calgary Flames have signed Head Coach Ryan Huska to a two-year contract extension.

Huska has coached in the Flames organization since the 2014-15 season in which he was appointed head coach of the Flames’ AHL affiliate in Adirondack. In 2018, he became an Assistant Coach with the Flames where he spent five seasons before becoming the 24th Head Coach in Flames franchise history on June 12, 2023.

“We’re thrilled to extend Ryan for two more years,” stated Flames GM Craig Conroy. “He’s done an excellent job creating a strong culture in our room and helping our team take steps in the right direction. His communication, work ethic, and commitment to developing our players have been outstanding. We believe in his vision and are confident he’s the right coach to lead us forward.”

In two seasons as the Flames Head Coach, Huska has led the club to a 79-66-19 record and coming within one point of a playoff appearance in 2024-25.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue leading this team and to build on the foundation we’ve started,” Huska said. “I believe in this group, in their character, talent, and potential. I’m excited about the direction we are heading. I want to thank Craig, the ownership, and the entire organization for their trust and support. We are committed to pushing forward and bringing success back to Calgary.”
