2010-11: In his freshman season at Boston College, Kevin Hayes skated in 31 games and scored 4 goals, 10 assists for 14 points.

Talent Analysis
The younger of the two Hayes brothers has the potential to develop into a solid two-way player. Like his brother Jimmy, Kevin has a huge frame at 6'5 but plays more of a finesse style. His offensive awareness and playmaking ability allow him to create chances for his teammates. His skating could use some improvement if he wants to take his game to another level.
Future
Kevin Hayes will be a sophomore at Boston College in the 2011-12 season with the opportunity to step into a bigger role offensively.
