History
Future NHL All-star Ron Hextall was a member of the Millionaires during the 1980-81 season. On February 27, 1981, Hextall faced 105 shots against 5-time league champions Prince Albert Raiders in a 21-2 loss. The game reporter said "Hextall was Brilliant..." through his 84-save effort, claiming the "score could have gone up to 34 or 35."[1]
