BIO:
Hayden is known as one of New Zealand’s best ever exponents of the drag flick. He is lethal on penalty corners and can rocket the ball into the goal literally at will – scoring well over 100 goals for his country. Hayden is also an imposing defender and has the uncanny skill of defeating opponents mentally. He made his debut in 2002 and has played a vital role at two Olympic Games as well as the 2002 Commonwealth Games where he won a silver medal.
