In a column early during the 2023-24 season, Saad Yousuf of The Athletic broke down all the Stars players’ nicknames and how they got them. It turns out Hanley’s nickname was nothing more than a reminder that his name isn’t Joe.
“One of the assistant coaches in the Rick Bowness regime was Derek Laxdal, who ran the power play,” Yousuf wrote. “Joe Pavelski was a player Laxdal interacted with more than Hanley. Because of the first three letters of Hanley’s first name, players would joke and say that Hanley was ‘not Joe.'”
Though the Flames have been referring to Hanley as “Nacho” for a good portion of the 2024-25 season, it hasn’t seemed to fully catch on with the fan base just yet. With this story resurfacing on X the last few days, however, you can expect to hear many more Calgarians refer to the blue liner as “Nacho” going forward.
