Ron Hextall is retiring from hockey, ending a career in which he led the Philadelphia Flyers to the Stanley Cup finals 12 years ago when he was the league’s best goalie.
He said Monday at the Flyers’ training camp that he had accepted a job as a professional scout for the team.
Hextall, 35, was released by the Flyers this summer after playing backup all season. He was not claimed in the expansion draft and his retirement was expected.
He was 10-7-4 with a 2.53 goals-against average last season and has a 296-214-69 career record.
