“His communication, work ethic, and dedication to player development have been exemplary. We have faith in his vision and believe he is the right person to lead our franchise into the future.”
Huska’s Journey with the Flames
Having been a part of the Flames organization since the 2014-15 season and stepping into an assistant coaching role in 2018, Huska has been pivotal in shaping the team’s identity over the years. In his own words, Huska conveyed his appreciation for the chance to continue as coach, expressing confidence in the team’s character and potential:
“I believe in this group and am excited about the direction we are heading as we build on the foundation we’ve laid down thus far.”
