Through the 52 games he played there, Hayhurst collected eight goals along with 17 assists which made for 25 points.
From the 2016-17 season to the 2018-19 campaign, Hayhurst played with RPI in Division I hockey in the NCAA. During the 2016-17 season, the forward racked up seven goals along with 13 assists in 37 games played. Following that, in 2017-18, he recorded 12 goals to go along with 11 assists.
