Brian George Hayward (* June 25, 1960 in Georgetown, Ontario) is a former Canadian ice hockey goalkeeper. During his career, he played for the Winnipeg Jets, Montreal Canadiens, Minnesota North Stars and San Jose Sharks in the National Hockey League.

Hayward initially played four years from 1978 to 1982 at Cornell University in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Last year he was appointed to the All-Star team of Eastern College Athletic Conference.

For the 1982/83 season, the goalkeeper switched to the Winnipeg Jets in the NHL, but which initially also used him in her farm team, the Sherbrooke Jets in the American Hockey League. It was only in the 1984/85 season that the Canadian made the breakthrough and secured the position as a tram goalkeeper in Winnipeg. With 33 season victories this year, he set up a franchise record, which he shared with Bob Essensa until the franchise was moved to the franchise. In the summer of 1986, Hayward was then transferred to the Montreal Canadiens, where he formed one of the most successful goalkeeper teams in NHL history together with Patrick Roy in the following four games. Together 1987 and 1989 they won the William M. Jennings Trophy three times in a row, with which the goalkeeper or the few goals conceded in the course of the season. In November 1990, Hayward had to leave the Canadiens because he switched to the Minnesota North Stars in exchange against Jayson More. There he only played until May 1991 before the newly founded San Jose Sharks selected him in the NHL Dispersal Draft. In the two years that Hayward played with the Nordkalifornians, he came to only 25 missions because in October 1991 he suffered a serious back injury during a game that forced him to expose large parts of the 1991/92 season. He bridged this time as the co-commentator of the Sharks’ TV and radio broadcasts. After a successful comeback, he injured his back again in January 1993, which finally forced him to end his career.

After the end of his career, Hayward worked for two years from 1993 to 1995 under head coach Ron Wilson as an assistant coach at the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. He also started working as a sports commentator. For example, he analyzed the broadcasts of the NHL games to NBC and CBC, as well as the ice hockey broadcasts of the 2006 Winter Olympics. Hayward is currently in the commentator team of the Anaheim Ducks.
