Joel Hanley scored the game-winning goal for the Calgary Flames against the San Jose Sharks, marking both his first goal of the season and a personal milestone in his career. This emotional moment came just after the birth of his daughter, Millie. Hanley, who has faced a challenging journey in the NHL, entered as a depth player for the Flames, overcoming past struggles to contribute meaningfully to his team's success. His ability to maintain a positive attitude even while being a healthy scratch illustrates his value to the squad.
Baby's healthy and the team won, so it feels great. It felt unreal; I was just looking at the crowd, just trying to take it all in.
That's what makes someone like Hanley a really important piece to your team. He always comes to the rink in the right mindset to make sure his preparation is proper.
