Sports Hall of Fame Inductee
Christopher Hayes
Inducted in 2004 as an Athlete
Institution: Loyola
Christopher Hayes was regarded as the
guts and glory of a celebrated hockey era at Loyola College. The high-scoring,
determined centre played four seasons with the Warriors, leading them to three
Ottawa-St. Lawrence Athletic Association titles and three appearances at the
national championships.
The hard-hitting team captain was a three-time OSLAA all-star and a two-time
All-Canadian. A gifted scoring champion, he set the Loyola record for most
assists in a season with 54 in 1970-'71.
That year he also added 26 goals for 80 points in just 34 games. He was the
recipient of many distinguished Loyola awards, including the James O'Connor Trophy for team MVP, the
Loyola Alumni Memorial Award for athletic achievement and the Brodrick Trophy
recognizing academic and extracurricular accomplishments.
Christopher went on to play professional hockey for a few years before
embarking on a successful career in banking. He has also been inducted as a
member of the 1967-68 Loyola men's hockey team.
