Haley Lyn Irwin (born June 6, 1988) is currently a member of the Calgary Inferno of the Canadian Women's Hockey League. She was a member of the 2009–10 Hockey Canada national women's team, the Montreal Stars of the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) and played for the University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs in the NCAA. Of note, she served as Canada's captain in a gold-medal winning effort at the 2014 4 Nations Cup in Kamloops, British Columbia.

Irwin grew up playing boys hockey until she was 16 and was the first girl to make a AAA-level boys team in Thunder Bay, ON. After moving to women’s hockey, she made Canada's national Under-22 team. Irwin was part of the gold medal winning Ontario Red squad at the January 2005 National Women’s Under-18 Championship in Salmon Arm, B.C. Irwin won the PWHL championship and OWHA provincial championship in 2005 and 2006 with the Toronto Jr. Aeros. She captained the undefeated 2005–06 team and was named the Aeros MVP in both 2004–05 and 2005–06. During the 2005–06 season, she finished third in league scoring with the Aeros.

She won a bronze medal with Team Ontario 1 at the 2007 Esso Women’s Nationals in Salmon Arm, BC. Other accomplishments include winning a gold medal with Team Ontario at the 2005 Esso Women’s Nationals in Sarnia, ON. At the January 2005 National Women’s Under-18 Championship in Salmon Arm, BC, she won a gold medal with Team Ontario Red. She won a gold medal with Team Ontario at the 2003 Canada Winter Games in Bathurst, NB. One of her teammates with Team Ontario was Meghan Agosta.

University of Minnesota Duluth women's hockey coach and former Canadian Olympic coach Shannon Miller recruited Irwin for UMD. When Irwin arrived in the fall of 2007 for her first season with the Bulldogs, she came in with more of an offensive game. She was not killing penalties and there were issues with her off-ice training and her weight. Miller made her fill out training logs, journaling all her workouts and her meals.
