Ron Hextall will become the 19th member of the organization to be inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame during an on-ice ceremony at the Wachovia Center on Wednesday, February 6, prior to the club’s 7:00 p.m. contest against the Washington Capitals.
Hextall, 43, appeared in 489 regular season games during his 11-year Flyers career (1986-87 through 1991-92 and 1994-95 through 1998-99 seasons), posting a 240-172-58 record and 2.91 goals-against average. His 489 games played and 240 wins as a Flyer rank him first all-time in Flyers history. In 84 playoff games for the Flyers, Hextall registered a 45-36 record and 2.95 GAA. His 45 playoff wins are the most in Flyers history.
