EA Sports recently added coaches to NHL 25, and Calgary Flames fans are unsure about the model created for Ryan Huska.
The Flames aren’t the only fan base questioning the model of their head coach, as Edmonton Oilers fans were equally baffled by the look of Kris Knoblauch. As for Huska, the model they put together doesn’t really look anything like him. In fact, they even failed to give him glasses.

While it’s a cool new feature from EA, they may want to consider making some changes to Huska’s look, as Flames fans don’t seem to find it very accurate.
Silly peeps…

There were plenty of other coaches with questionable models as well. Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet was one in particular that many found to be quite funny.

Another pointed out how odd John Tortorella — one of the NHL’s most recognizable coaches — looked.

While these may not have been received by fans quite the way EA Sports had imagined, it’s creating plenty of conversation about the game. At the end of the day, it’s a fun new idea that will only be made to look more and more realistic as time goes on.
