Ryan Huska (born July 2, 1975) is a Canadian professional ice hockey coach and former player who is the head coach for the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL). Huska was drafted in the third round, 76th overall, in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks. In 1997–98, he played his only NHL game with the Blackhawks against the Calgary Flames. He played 5:51 in eight shifts. As a junior player with the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League (WHL), he won three Memorial Cups in 1992, 1994, and 1995.
He has spent several seasons as an assistant coach with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL and was named the Rockets' seventh head coach in history in the summer of 2007 when former coach Jeff Truitt was named an assistant with the Springfield Falcons of the American Hockey League (AHL). In 2009, with Huska coaching, the Rockets won the Ed Chynoweth Cup as WHL champions and advanced to the 2009 Memorial Cup, where they lost in the final to the Windsor Spitfires. Huska was re-appointed for his fifth year in charge before the 2011–12 season.
On June 23, 2014, Huska was named the head coach of the Adirondack Flames of the AHL, the top affiliate of the Calgary Flames. He stayed on as coach when the Adirondack franchise was relocated to become the Stockton Heat in 2015. In 2018, he was hired by the Calgary Flames as an assistant coach.[1] On June 12, 2023, Huska was named head coach of the Calgary Flames, succeeding Darryl Sutter.[2]
