A creative fan made a sign that definitely got Brett Hextall's attention during the BCHL playoffs.
"When we played Westside in the Interior Final, the guy made a sign: 'Hextall - Did your dad beat you when you were a kid' " relayed the captain of the Penticton Vees.
Those close followers of Junior A hockey know Hextall's father is Ron Hextall, the former fiery Philadelphia Flyers goaltender.
Nine years after retiring, Ron is still remembered as the goalie who slashed Kent Nilsson in the 1987 playoffs and scrapped with Chris Chelios in the 1989 playoffs -- being suspended for 12 games the following year.
