Veteran Ryan Hayes Back to Work for Whalers
August 7, 2009 - Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
Plymouth Whalers News Release
The Plymouth Whalers haven't played a shift in the 2009-10 Ontario Hockey League season, but veteran Ryan Hayes is one of the busiest Whalers in town.
Currently working the Plymouth Whalers Hockey Schools, Hayes worked six of Plymouth's previous seven player appearances this summer since returning from Syracuse, New York.
Hayes - who turned 20-years-old in June - is happy in Plymouth. When Whalers President, General Manager, and Head Coach Mike Vellucci decided to trade right wing Kaine Geldart to his hometown of Kingston, he named Hayes, Joe Gaynor, and Leo Jenner as his overage players for the year.
If you are new to the OHL, teams can play just three 20-year-olds or overage players (1989 birthdays this season). Many teams go into the season with a surplus of overagers and trade them later on. It can become a stressful time for everyone involved.
