Kevin Hayes, Forward
DOB: 05/08/1992 Ht: 6’3 Wt: 201
Drafted: 1st round (24th overall) in 2010 – Nobles High School
The Blackhawks first round pick in 2010, Kevin’s freshman season at Boston College was cut short when he tore his posterior cruciate ligament and missed five weeks. He still managed to score four goals with 10 assists in 31 games.
He has indicated that his preference is to play center, and will likely get time to develop at the position at BC for at least one more year while his big brother, Jimmy, plays in Rockford (and maybe Chicago). Kevin may ultimately be more talented than Jimmy, and will get time to fill out his big frame and mature into his ability.
