Kevin Hayes releases heartfelt tribute to his brother two years after his death

In the midst of heartache, Kevin Hayes embarks on a new journey. As the 2021-22 season approaches, he carries with him the memory of a brother and confidant taken too soon.

Amid the warmth of summer, the St. Louis Blues make a calculated move, welcoming Kevin Hayes from the Philadelphia Flyers. Beyond the professional promise, the trade�a sixth-round pick in the 2024 draft�symbolizes a fresh chapter for Hayes.

In a touching Players' Tribune article, Hayes pays homage to his brother, affectionately known as the "Dorchester Batman". The piece encapsulates his journey since his brother's passing and underscores his commitment to keeping his spirit alive.

"Jimmy is not gone. We're still saying his name, every single day,"

Kevin asserts. The ache remains, but the determination to preserve his brother's essence shines brightly.

Amidst his personal struggle, Hayes addresses a pressing concern that plagues not only hockey but the nation at large.

"I lost my best friend because of a drug that is destroying America... Opioid addiction has probably touched most families in America at this point, and the only way we can save people is by bringing these stories into the light,"

he says.

Amidst his own pain, Hayes becomes a torchbearer of awareness, shedding light on the insidious reach of opioid addiction. His resounding message echoes:

"If pills can take my brother, they can take anyone."

In Kevin Hayes' simple yet powerful words, his brother's memory is elevated, and a cause greater than hockey takes center stage.
