Playing career
Tobin first played senior-level ice hockey with the Edmonton Thistles in 1904–05. Starting in 1906, Tobin played for several teams in early western Canada professional leagues, such as Battleford of the Alberta Professional League, Winnipeg Monarchs, Winnipeg Shamrocks and Winnipeg Hockey Club of the Manitoba leagues, Prince Albert, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw of the Saskatchewan Professional League.
In 1912, the new PCHA was formed and Tobin joined the league in its second season, in 1912–13, playing for the New Westminster Royals.

Several of the teams were PCHA champions and Tobin played in the 1916,[1] 1920[2] and 1922[3] Stanley Cup finals with the Rosebuds, Metropolitans and Millionaires, but did not play for a Stanley Cup champion, losing in the fifth and deciding game all three times.
