"The opportunity to return to Missouri was a no-brainer for me," said Hayes, "the city, community and fans are some of the greatest I have seen in my years of playing hockey."

"On top of the great atmosphere, having an opportunity to play for not only a former NHL player, but a Stanley Cup Champion in Richard Matvichuk is a huge honor. I just hope to be able to be a sponge and learn as much as I can from him, pushing myself towards the next level, and helping to bring a championship to the Mavericks organization."
