On October 18, 2012, Hayes signed with the Fort Wayne Komets of the ECHL.[6] On November 26, 2012, after playing 10 games for the Komets, Hayes was released by the Komets, subsequently being picked up off of waivers by the South Carolina Stingrays of the ECHL on November 27, 2013.[7][8] Instead of reporting to the Stingrays, Hayes signed with the Missouri Mavericks of the Central Hockey League on November 27, 2012.[9] In the midst of playing for the Mavericks, Hayes's ECHL rights were traded from the South Carolina Stingrays to the Stockton Thunder on January 9, 2013, in exchange for centre Phil Mangan.[10] That same day, after playing 18 games for the Missouri Mavericks, Hayes left the Mavericks to join the Stockton Thunder; the Mavericks consequently placed Hayes on Team Suspension.[11]

After finishing the 2012–13 season with the Thunder, Hayes returned to the Missouri Mavericks during the off-season, signing with the team on August 13, 2013, for the 2013-14 season.[12] On September 25, 2013, Hayes was invited to the 2013 Training Camp of the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League.[13] Hayes was later released from the Wolves' Training Camp and re-joined the Missouri Mavericks roster for the 2013-14 season.[14]

On July 30, 2014, Hayes was signed to a Two-Way Contract with the Chicago Wolves, the American Hockey League affiliate team for the Missouri Mavericks.[15][16]

On October 6, 2014, Hayes was assigned by the Wolves to the Missouri Mavericks, which had become a member of the ECHL.[17][18]

On November 6, 2014, Hayes was recalled by the Chicago Wolves and, on November 7, 2014, was reassigned to the Alaska Aces of the ECHL.[19][20] On March 11, 2015, the Wolves reassigned Hayes from the Aces back to the Missouri Mavericks of the ECHL.[21]
