Henry Hoobin (1879 to 1921) was a Canadian lacrosse player, born in Montreal. His father, John Hoobin, was a member of the Shamrocks Lacrosse Club, and having been taught the sport by his father, Henry joined his father's team in the late 1890s. In 1907 he retired from the sport because of an injured knee, but he returned to the game when he was selected to represent Canada in lacrosse at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London. As a member of the Canadian lacrosse team he won the gold medal against Great Britain. At that time he was signed to the Montreal Shamrocks in the attack wing position.
