Playing career

In April 2011, the Coyotes signed Hextall to an entry level contract.[1] He played the next three seasons for the Portland Pirates, the Coyotes' AHL affiliate. Following the 2013–14 season, the Coyotes did not make a qualifying offer to Hextall, allowing him to become an unrestricted free agent.[2]
On August 25, 2014, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms signed Hextall to a one-year AHL contract.[3]
Personal life
Brett is the son of former NHL goaltender Ron Hextall (and grandson of Bryan Jr. and great-grandson of Bryan Sr.). Brett studied at the University of North Dakota, just like his grand-uncle Dennis.
