Photo Gallery: Yandle Hockey Camp Featuring Surprise Guest Kevin Hayes

Retired NHL All Star defenseman Keith Yandle and two-time All-American Brian Yandle were joined by St. Louis Blues center Kevin Hayes on Wednesday for day three of the Yandle’s first annual hockey camp on Nantucket.

The camp is split up into two groups: group one is ages 7-13 while group two is ages 14-18. The photographs below were taken while the older group was on the ice.

Brian Yandle told the Current that this camp will continue to be held on Nantucket for years to come, and the brothers hope to help more and more young island hockey players as the camp grows.

Players went through many drills while on the ice - conducting both group coaching and personal one-on-one instruction.

Keith Yandle played 16 seasons in the NHL. He had 103 goals and 516 assists for 619 points in 1,109 games.

Yandle earned himself the nickname “Iron Man” after playing an incredible 989 consecutive NHL games, which was formerly the NHL record after he passed Doug Jarvis in January of 2022. The record was broken by Phil Kessel in October of 2022.

Brian Yandle played his college hockey at the University of New Hampshire, where he played defense and notched 99 points in 153 games. He also had stints in the American Hockey League (AHL) and East Coast Hockey League (ECHL). He has over 15 years of coaching experience.

Kevin Hayes, a guest coach, is entering his 10th season in the NHL. The St. Louis Blues acquired him in a trade this month from the Philadelphia Flyers. Hayes has played 634 games, scoring 155 goals and tallying 231 assists for 386 points. He was the Flyers second leading scorer last season.

Keith Yandle and Hayes were former teammates while in the NHL when they both played for the New York Rangers from 2014-2016.
