🏒 Autographed/Signed Ron Hextall Philadelphia Black Hockey Jersey JSA COA – A James Spence Authentication Certified Autographed Philadelphia Flyers Black Hockey Jersey Bearing Ron Hextall's Authentic Signature, the Flyers Goaltender Who Became the First Goalie in NHL History to Score a Goal by Shooting the Puck Directly Into the Net

🏒 The date was December 8, 1987. The opponent was the Boston Bruins. The Philadelphia Flyers were protecting a lead with time running out, the Bruins had pulled their goalie, and Ron Hextall shot the puck from his own crease the length of the ice and into the empty Boston net. It was the first time in NHL history that a goaltender had scored a goal by shooting the puck directly – not deflecting it off another player, not having the credit assigned on a delayed penalty – but shooting it intentionally and watching it go in. The record books made note. The sport noticed. Hextall later added another chapter by becoming the first goalie to score in the playoffs, in 1989, again against Boston. The black Philadelphia Flyers jersey in this piece, certified by JSA, is signed by the player who owns both of those records. Condition: NOS.

🏒 Hextall's career with the Flyers placed him in the tradition of Philadelphia goaltending that began with Bernie Parent in the championship years of the mid-1970s and continued with the intensity and competitiveness that the Flyers franchise has historically demanded of players in net. He was aggressive – willing to handle the puck beyond the crease, willing to play the body, willing to make the kind of statement with his stick that reminded opponents he was not simply standing behind the play. The black Philadelphia jersey in this piece represents the alternate uniform aesthetic the Flyers have used across different eras, placed against the signature of the goalie who made the mask the center of the franchise's identity for his years in Philadelphia. Condition: NOS.

🏒 JSA – James Spence Authentication – certified the signature on this jersey. Hextall's place in the record books for goaltender scoring is permanent: no one can un-score those goals, and no one can take back the historical firsts they represent. Condition: NOS.
