Calgary Flames promote from within, hire Ryan Huska as head coach

The Calgary Flames have promoted from within for their next head coach. Ryan Huska takes over the reins after five years as a Flames assistant. The 47-year-old from Cranbrook, B.C., replaces Darryl Sutter, who was fired in May. Calgary has changed head coaches five times in eight years. The hiring of Huska is new general manager Craig Conroy's first major move. Huska previously coached Calgary's AHL affiliate for four seasons and was behind the bench of the Western Hockey League's Kelowna Rocket
