Unlike many other young players who have been drafted by both leagues at the same time, Ruskowski choose the WHA over the NHL and spent 4 seasons with the Aeros and one with the Winnipeg Jets. When the WHA folded in 1979, the Blackhawks, who still retained his rights to the NHL, signed him. He later played for the Los Angeles Kings, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Minnesota North Stars. Folowing his playing career, Ruskowski became coach; he started by coaching the WHL's Saskatoon Blades, then would make stops in the ECHL and the International Hockey League. He joined the Laredo Bucks of the Central Hockey League in 2002 as the head coach and general manager. He led the team to a championship in 2004.
