Calgary Flames Reportedly Hire Kerry Huffman

July 25, 2023 at 8:10 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 3 Comments

The Calgary Flames are making a major addition to their professional scouting department, per Tony Androckitis of Inside AHL Hockey. Kerry Huffman, who’d served as the Pittsburgh Penguins’ director of pro scouting for the past two seasons, is on his way to Calgary to join their pro scouting department.

The 55-year-old Huffman has turned into a rather respected scout after a 401-game NHL career split between the Philadelphia Flyers, Quebec Nordiques, and Ottawa Senators. After last suiting up in 1999, it would be 15 years before Huffman returned to the sport, joining a Wilkes/Barre-Scranton area youth team as a head coach.

It’s been a quick rise up the front office ranks since then, becoming an AHL assistant coach before long in 2016 with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. He served there for five seasons before joining Pittsburgh’s scouting department.

He now heads to Calgary, who will rely on their pro scouts heavily in the next few months as they consider trades for their pending UFAs – certainly defenseman Noah Hanifin, while forwards Elias Lindholm and Mikael Backlund could lead to some major trades as well, pending their extension statuses.

Huffman’s dismissal in Pittsburgh was one of the first orders of business for incoming interim GM Kyle Dubas last month, as he was fired just a day after Dubas took his post. Some trades made in Pittsburgh the last few seasons weren’t exactly inspiring, especially the team’s acquisition of Mikael Granlund at last year’s trade deadline, but it’s impossible to place that blame solely on the scouting department.

    Solid defenseman in his day. I remember seeing a lot of him, back when hockey was in its heyday, during those early 90s Capitals-Flyers donnybrook.
