Bruins Will Wear 'Jimmy 11' Decals In Honor Of Late Jimmy Hayes

BOSTON (CBS) -- The Boston Bruins will honor the late Jimmy Hayes with a special decal on their helmets during Saturday night's season opener against the Dallas Stars.

When the Bruins take the ice for their opener at TD Garden, players will be sporting a "Jimmy 11" decal in honor of Hayes, who died unexpectedly at his Milton home in August. The former Bruins forward and Dorchester native was just 31 years old at the time of his passing.

The Bruins shared a few pictures of the decal on their social media channels on Saturday:

Hayes enjoyed a seven-year NHL career, including two seasons with his hometown Bruins. He played three years of collegiate hockey at Boston College and won an NCAA Championship with the Eagles in 2010.
