Flames sign Huska to 2-year extension

The Calgary Flames signed head coach Ryan Huska to a two-year contract extension Thursday.

"We're thrilled to extend Ryan for two more years" general manager Craig Conroy said in a statement. "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."

Huska's been in the Flames' organization since 2014-15, when he started with the club's AHL affiliate. He joined Calgary as an assistant in 2018 and was named head coach in 2023.

He's guided the Flames to a 79-66-19 record over two seasons behind the bench. Calgary missed the playoffs in 2024-25 due to a tiebreaker scenario with the St. Louis Blues.

The Flames begin their regular season Oct. 8 against the Edmonton Oilers.
