The NHL, the Boston Bruins, Boston College, and the Boston hockey community are mourning the sudden loss of former Bruins forward Jimmy Hayes. The Dorchester, MA native passed away at the age of 31 on Monday.

The New York Rangers and the NHL are also mourning the death of hall of famer Rod Gilbert. 

Don’t count on David Krejci playing for the Boston Bruins this coming season.

After the tragic death of his baby boy, Boston Bruins winger David Pastrnak seems to be getting back to being the lovable ‘Pasta’ Bruins fans have grown to love.

That and more in the BHN Puck Links:

Boston Bruins

Absolutely devastating news made its way across the hockey world Monday morning as former Boston Bruins and Boston College star Jimmy Hayes passed away at age 31. The Dorchester, MA native, who spent two seasons (2015-16, 2016-17) playing for his hometown team and earlier in his hockey career, Hayes won a National Championship with the Boston College Eagles. While Hayes went on to have a solid NHL career, his imprint was in the dressing room and off the ice as he was the guy that always made you laugh and made sure you were happy. I had the pleasure of covering Jimmy and he will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to Philadelphia Flyers forward Kevin Hayes, Jimmy’s brother, and the entire Hayes family. RIP Broadway.  (BHN)

Great to see affable Boston Bruins winger David Pastrnak out and about and enjoying life again after the tragic loss of his baby earlier this summer. 

 

 

Some more good news on an otherwise sad Monday in Boston. Boston Bruins winger Charlie Coyle got engaged to his girlfriend Danielle Hooper. Congrats Charlie!
