Ex-Bruins Goalie Prospect Finds New Home: Skating with New Team After Leaving Boston.
In a surprising turn of events, former Boston Bruins goalie prospect Jeremy
Hayes has officially joined a new team, marking the end of his tenure with the
Bruins’ organization. Hayes, who was once considered a promising young
netminder for Boston, has signed with the AHL’s Chicago Wolves, a move that
opens a new chapter in his hockey career.
Hayes, drafted by the Bruins in the third round of the 2020 NHL Draft, had
been viewed as a key part of Boston’s future between the pipes. Known for his
agile reflexes and strong positional play, Hayes had high expectations placed
upon him. However, despite showing potential in the Bruins’ development
camp and during his stint with their ECHL affiliate, the Maine Mariners, he
struggled to make a significant impact on the main roster.
The transition to the Chicago Wolves represents a fresh start for Hayes, who
will be looking to revitalize his career and prove his worth in a new
environment. The Wolves, a well-regarded team in the American Hockey
League, have a history of developing NHL-caliber talent, and Hayes will have
the opportunity to showcase his skills and potentially earn an NHL call-up in
the future.
For the Bruins, the departure of Hayes signals a shift in their goaltending
strategy. With the emergence of new prospects and the acquisition of veteran
goaltenders, the Bruins have decided to part ways with Hayes. The team’s
management has expressed optimism about their current goaltending depth
and is focused on building a competitive roster for the upcoming season.
Meanwhile, Hayes is embracing his new role with the Wolves. In his first few
practices with the team, he has demonstrated a high level of enthusiasm and
determination. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky has praised Hayes for his work
ethic and adaptability, noting that he could become a valuable asset to the
Wolves’ goaltending rotation.
As Hayes settles into his new team, fans and analysts will be closely watching
his progress. This move could be a pivotal moment in his career, offering him
the chance to overcome past challenges and prove himself as a reliable and
skilled goaltender. With a fresh start in Chicago, Hayes is poised to make the
most of this opportunity and continue his journey towards an NHL return.
