Undrafted, Hayward signed a free agent contract with the Winnipeg Jets and moved between the Jets and their AHL affiliate for several years before becoming a regular NHL player. In 1984–85 he won a career high 33 games, setting a franchise record. He was traded to the Montreal Canadiens before the 1986–87 season and played with Patrick Roy. For three consecutive seasons they shared the William M. Jennings Trophy, awarded to the team that allows the fewest goals during the regular season. In 1990 he was traded to the Minnesota North Stars where he played for one season. In 1991, he was acquired by the San Jose Sharks in the Dispersal Draft and he was in net for the Sharks when they won their first NHL regular season game, against the Calgary Flames. He retired from playing in 1993.
In the 2012 playoffs, Hayward joined the NBCSN as an " Inside-the-Glass" reporter.
