Two-time Olympic gold medallist Haley Irwin has announced her retirement from the Canadian women's hockey team.
The 31-year-old forward from Thunder Bay, Ont., won Olympic gold in 2010 and 2014 and silver in 2018 with the Canadian team
Irwin also represented Canada in five world championships winning one gold and four silver. She compiled 38 goals and 42 assists in 108 career games for the national team."Haley was always driven to win and fiercely competitive, which is why she was so successful," said former teammate Gina Kingsbury, who now oversees national women's teams at Hockey Canada.
"Her ability to read the game was a large part of that success and will no doubt be with her as pursues a coaching career." Irwin's last game was the 2018 Olympic final in Pyeongchang, South Korea, where Canada lost in overtime to the United States in the gold-medal game. Hands up and high fives for retirement! I owe so many thank you’s to everyone who has been a part of my journey. Love and cheers ❤️��
