Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Bill Hay passed away at 88.

From Saskatchewan, Hay played eight seasons in the NHL, all with the Chicago Black Hawks, where he was the 1960 Calder Trophy winner and helped his squad win the 1961 Stanley Cup.  As a player, Hay scored a respectable 386 Points in 506 Games.

Following his playing career, Hay entered the oil business, but the lure of hockey brought him back.  He served as the President and CEO of Hockey Canada and was the head of Hockey Canada.  Hay also was a past voter for the Hockey Hall of Fame. 

Hay entered the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder in 2015, joining his father, Charles, who was also inducted as a builder (1974).

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to Bill Hay's fans, friends, and family.

Prior to making his National Hockey League debut, Bill Hay was traded from the Montreal Canadiens for Cash who would watch their former farmhand win the Calder Trophy in 1960 and assist the Blackhawks win the 1961 Stanley Cup.  Hay was a solid playmaker whose 386 Points (all with Chicago) were Assists and he was the leader in Assists per Game in the 1961/62 season.  Hay would play eight seasons in the NHL and would retire shortly after being claimed the St. Louis Blues in the Expansion Draft.
