Roman "Ray" Kinasewich (September 12, 1933 – August 30, 2021) was a Canadian ice hockey player and coach.
[1] He was the head coach of the Edmonton Oil Kings team that won the 1966 Memorial Cup and he was the first coach for the Edmonton Oilers in the inaugural 1972–73 season of the World Hockey Association (WHA).
[2] He started with the Edmonton Flyers of the WHL before spending two seasons (1956–58) with the Seattle Americans.
Kinasewich returned to the Flyers for one season before playing for the Hershey Bears of the AHL from 1959–62.
However, Hunter was dissatisfied with the Oilers' 20–23–2 record to start the 1972–73 WHA season, and he replaced Kinasewich with himself as head coach.
