Prior to the 2023-24 season, Hayhurst signed an AHL deal with the Coachella Valley Firebirds. However, he spent the entire 2023-24 season in the ECHL with the Kansas City Mavericks. It was a career year for Hayhurst, as he scored 37 goals and 39 assists for 76 points in 70 games and finished second in goals for the Mavericks behind Patrick Curry, who finished the year with 39. Hayhurst would add five goals and 11 assists for 16 points in 18 Kelly Cup Playoff Games as the Mavericks would end up losing to the Florida Everblades in five games in the Kelly Cup Final.
