Local children offer stick salute at Jimmy Hayes wake in Dorchester

Jimmy Hayes, former Bruins player and Dorchester native, was laid to rest on Monday morning after an emotional weekend in Boston.

On Sunday, hundreds of residents attended Hayes’ wake. On Monday, a large group of Boston youth hockey players gathered and offered a stick salute to Hayes — tapping their hockey sticks on the road.

New Jersey Devils star P.K. Subban, who attended the ceremony as well, captured more youth hockey players offering a tribute to Hayes.

Hayes — who spent seven seasons in the NHL and two with the Bruins — died on Aug.
