Hayes finishes strong

The AHL's Worcester Sharks finished their season over the weekend, and they — and their parent club, San Jose in the NHL — had to be pleased with what they saw in now-former Maverick Eriah Hayes.

Hayes played in Worcester's final seven games and ended up with three goals and an assist. He also had four penalty minutes and 26 shots on goal, including a Sharks season-high 10 shots on goal on April 13.

Not too shabby, but not too surprising.

I'm guessing Hayes can be a very good player in the AHL. Will he be able to make the jump to the show and be the next MSU alum to get a banner at the Verizon Wireless Center? I wouldn't be against him.
