Jimmy Hayes, former Bruin and Boston College hockey champion, dies at 31

By Matt Porter and John R. Ellement Globe Staff, Updated August 23, 2021, 2 hours ago



Jimmy Hayes lived the fantasy of every local kid who picked up a hockey stick after school.

He went from the streets of Dorchester to playing for the Boston Bruins, during a career that included an NCAA championship at Boston College, silver medals with Team USA, and seven years in the NHL.

His friends weren’t recalling his on-ice impact Monday.

While he was not the impact player the Bruins sought at the time, he was still a class individual.

Dead at 31. SHOCKING.
