Very sad to hear this news. My condolences to Jim's family and friends.

 

[Bruinaura]

He was really, really young. And with two little kids. So sad.

Very sad.

This goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway; let’s keep the comments within the boundaries of good taste.

Thanks.

 

[sarge88]

So sad.

Rest in Peace.

 

[Bruinaura]

Holy cow. First and foremost - condolences to the Hayes family. He always seemed like a good guy, and put up with a lot of crap from us B's fans. Those poor boys who will grow up not knowing their father. This is tragic on so many level.

He's only a year older than me. I always find the deaths of folks in my age bracket very unsettling, especially when the cause of death remains private. To think one day things are going well out on the golf course and a week later you're gone.

No one is promised tomorrow.

That reality has hit home with me from several angles in the last two weeks.

I have kids those ages. Completely unfathomable what they must be going through. Condolences to the whole family, however inadequate that may be.

Way too soon. So much life was ahead of him.

RIP Jimmy.

 

[McGarnagle]

I mean, I definitely wasn't a fan of the player, but you hate to see anyone die that young. Local kid too.

 

[Bruins Stooge]

Heartbreaking. May his family find strength in this incredibly difficult time and may he rest in peace.

 

[Alicat]

I'll never forget when he and the guys dressed up as Minions for the kids during Halloween.

 

[Ladyfan]

Oh No. This is so very sad. Too young.

Hugs to his family and friends.

R.I.P. young man

 

[JCRO]

I’m just shocked. Found out on Twitter and it’s still not registering.

Rest In Peace Jimmy scoops. Just completely heartbroken for his family.

Horrible, I apologize for questioning the original post. I so badly wanted it to be untrue.

Horrible, I apologize for questioning the original post. I so badly wanted it to be untrue.

I am sure it shook up his fellow NHL players that knew him.

It seems unbelievable ....I wanted it to be not true
as well.

What the f***??

Holy hell RIP, what awful news.

 

[ranold26]

My condolences to the Hayes family and to those who personally knew him.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

I actually thought he seemed like he had a promising career in the hockey media business, too.

A few years back I think I had seen him in the seaport district, if I was closer I would have probably said hi. Not that has any importance, it's just that connection seeing the players out there as real people, doing their thing.

Always wish he worked out here better than he did, but definitely really sad news either way. I was hoping when the thread was first locked that it wasn't true... but then it was reopened.

Again, my condolences to any friends and family out there.

 

[VanIsle]

RIP Jimmy, just a kid, I feel for his family and loved ones, that is so so young.

 

[Alicat]

 

[Dellstrom]

Oh my gosh… that is absolutely horrible. Way too young and with a young family.

Condolences to the family. Man…

 

[Greek_physique]

My jaw dropped just reading this on my phone...horrible shit. Ugh

RIP
