The Calgary Flames have secured the services of defenceman Joel Hanley with a two-year contract extension worth an average annual value of $1.75 million. The 34-year-old, who previously played 53 games in the last season, contributed significantly with two goals and seven assists along with a career-high plus-12 rating. Averaging 18.5 minutes on the ice per game, Hanley proved to be a reliable defensive asset following his acquisition off waivers in March 2024.

This extension comes on the heels of the Flames' recent six-year deal with fellow defenceman Kevin Bahl, highlighting the team's commitment to bolstering their blue line for the upcoming seasons.
