Playing career

Haley was signed as a free agent to a two-way contract by the New York Islanders on May 19, 2008. At the end of the 2009–10 season Haley made his NHL debut with the Islanders against the New Jersey Devils, recording his first career NHL fight against Rod Pelley, on April 10, 2010.[1] His first NHL goal was on February 11, 2011 against Brent Johnson of the Pittsburgh Penguins. In the same game he received 39 penalty minutes.

On July 1, 2012, Haley signed as a free agent to a two-year contract with Islanders rival, the New York Rangers.

After two seasons within the Rangers' organization, Haley signed a one-year, two-way free agent contract with the San Jose Sharks on July 10, 2014.[2] In his third season in the Sharks organization in the 2016–17 season, Haley played his first full season in the NHL, recording a career best 2 goals, 10 assists and 12 points in 58 contests, while leading the Sharks in penalty minutes with 128.

On July 1, 2017, Haley left the Sharks as a free agent and signed a two-year, $1.65 million contract with the Florida Panthers.[3]

During the 2017–18 season, Haley played in 75 games, the most of his career, and also led the NHL in fighting majors with 22 and penalty minutes with 212.

During the final year of contract with the Panthers in the 2018–19 season, Haley was limited to just 24 games approaching the trade deadline before he was placed on waivers by Florida on February 19, 2019. He was claimed the following day, returning for a second stint with the San Jose Sharks on February 20, 2019.[4]

On October 1, 2019, he moved back to the New York Rangers as a free agent, returning for a second stint on a one-year deal.[5] In the following 2019–20 season, Haley remained on the Rangers roster and made 22 appearances as the club's reserve veteran forward, posting 1 goal.

Concluding his contract with the Rangers, Haley extended his professional career in agreeing to a one-year, two-way contract with the Ottawa Senators on November 13, 2020.[6]
