Fired by the Flyers midseason, Ron Hextall defended his vision from a hotel ballroom across the street from the team’s practice facility in a bizarre farewell that fans will never forget.
There's a weird thing that happens when former players turn to front office jobs after retirement - especially if it's the same city in which they played. They're somehow more relatable and approachable, they feel like someone you already know. This was the case when Ron Hextall came back to Philadelphia in 2013 as assistant general manager under Paul Holmgren.
