Final Days for Brian Boyle’s Rally for 11 Contest; Raising Money for Children in Need

Not all Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers tangles need be nasty, hate-filled battles even between warriors Kevin Hayes and Brian Boyle. Last August, the hockey world mourned the untimely passing of Jimmy Hayes, a former NHL player with several teams and Penguins farmhand. Hayes was only 31-years-old and left behind two sons and a wife.

Hayes’ final professional season was 2018-19, spent mostly with the WBS Penguins. He played 72 games for WBS with 30 points (15-15-30). Hayes played in 334 NHL games and scored 54 goals. He played a career-high 75 games with the Boston Bruins in 2015-16.

His brother Kevin, a center for the Philadelphia Flyers, and former teammate Brian Boyle are raising funds for Rally for 11 charity, which gives proceedes to children in need at Saint Joseph School in Dorchester, MA where Jimmy and his 4 siblings attended school.

The players are using the upcoming Penguins-Flyers game to raise awareness and funds with the following package. You can enter here.

Brian Boyle returned to the NHL with the Pittsburgh Penguins on a PTO in training camp, and made the team. He’s been one of the most pleasant surprises in recent memory. He has 15 points, including nine goals in 55 games and became a mainstay in the deep Penguins lineup. With Boyle, the Penguins penalty kill is second in the NHL.

The contest entries end Sunday at midnight, CST.
