Talent Analysis

Hayes is only 5’9, 175 lbs which puts him at a natural disadvantage.  Furthermore, he lacks a quality that most small hockey players possess, game-breaking speed.  Despite this, Hayes has a nose for the net. He has a great shot, and is a pure goal scorer. 

Future

Hayes will attend Boston College in 2007-08.
