Houston Aeros News Release
The Houston Aeros are celebrating their 15th Anniversary season this year. To honor this time in the organization's history, we will be featuring major factors of the Houston Aeros success each month throughout the season.
March - Coaches
A coach is the core of a team. For 15 seasons the Houston Aeros have celebrated victories and noted losses with seven coaches. Each coach adds something to the organization and each year's history. Houston Aeros' coaches are known for serving as directors of talent, managers of attitudes and suppliers of strategy. Head Coach Kevin Constantine knows this team, what makes it tick, and how our skates differ when they meet competition on the ice. This month we honor our current coach, his staff and the past coaches of the Houston Aeros for their commitment and direction during the past 15 years.
The seven head coaches and their records with Houston:
Terry Ruskowski (1994-96*) 50-62-11
