Expert Analysis
Dan Arestia | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Yet another of the hyper-talented group of defenders in New Canaan, Hayes, a Denver commit, probably gets the least amount of pub relative to the impact he has. Hayes has a smoothness to his game. He almost appears to be in slow motion while on the ball at times, but in a good way. He always has a good approach to the ball, positioning himself to drive a dodger where the defense wants him to go. Hayes doesn’t throw a ton of checks, but the one he does throw knocks the ball loose. He waits for the right moment or for his man to show some stick, and then it’s a single slap or poke to dislodge the ball. Even with all the talented poles for New Canaan, there are certain games where Hayes still draws the top matchup. Hayes is a key part of the faceoff unit for New Canaan as well, and he’s ferocious on GBs from wings. He had a pair of goals against Wilton in the FCIAC title game a year ago and is the type of shooter that makes you wonder if the Rams should try him on extra man.
