Bruins, Panthers Honor Late Jimmy Hayes With Warmup Jerseys

Though playing against each other, the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers were playing for the same thing this weekend.

Prior to their Saturday tilt at TD Garden, the Bruins and Panthers both donned special warmup jerseys with the nicknames "Haysey" and "Broadway" on them -- in honor of Jimmy Hayes.

Hayes, a Dorchester native who went on to play for Boston College, the Bruins and Panthers, died unexpectedly in August.

The Bruins Foundation's 50/50 auction Saturday also will be in honor of Hayes.
