Christopher Joseph Hayes (born August 24, 1946) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player, most notable for the single game he played in the 1972 Stanley Cup semifinals for the eventual Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins, his sole National Hockey League appearance.
He grew up in Chapeau, Quebec, a small village bordering on the Ottawa Valley.
He left hockey for two years, but returned in the 1970-71 season to play for Loyola College in Montreal.
Although Hayes was entitled to have his name engraved on the Stanley Cup for having appeared in a playoff game, it was not.
[2] Hayes was not re-signed by the Boston organization after the end of the 1973-74 season, and played four games in the NAHL in 1975-76, his final professional action.
