Ryan Hayes is an American professional ice hockey player. He is currently playing for the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL. Hayes played major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League with the Plymouth Whalers. He was honoured by the OHL when he was awarded the 2009?10 Dan Snyder Memorial Trophy as the OHL Humanitarian of the Year. He was further honoured when he also received the 2009?10 CHL Humanitarian of the Year award, given annually to the Canadian Hockey League player judged to have made the most notable contribution to his community in a humanitarian sense. Hayes began his professional career playing with the Trenton Devils for the 2010?11 ECHL season, but during the off-season, he was traded to the Greenville Road Warriors for winger Matt Schepke. Greenville choose to waive Hayes after just two games, and he signed on to play with the Trenton Titans for the remainder of the 2011?12 ECHL season.
