Minor leagues Hay also spent time in the American Hockey League, ECHL, and the Central Hockey League. During his time with the Pensacola Ice Pilots of the ECHL, Hay was named the In Glas Co ECHL Player of the Week for the week of December 13–19, 2004.

Hay had initially signed with the Fresno Falcons of the ECHL in July 2007 as a training camp invite but was eventually released by the team in October. Upon being released by the Falcons, Hay had agreed to play with the Nottingham Panthers of the EIHL. Two days after agreeing to terms, Hay announced that he "would not be in a position to pass a medical on arrival and has been forced to retire from the sport".
