Playing career
Hanifin was supposed to be the top-three picks for the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, as well as the top-one rated defenseman. He was ranked fifth overall by the Carolina Hurricanes. Hanifin was based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, but was drafted into the U18 national team as an underage player, leading Team USA to the gold medal at the 2014 IIHF World U18 Championships. With a single goal and five points, he was the highest-scoring American defenseman of the tournament. Hanifin matriculated at Boston College as a 17-year-old, playing for the Eagles and becoming the second-youngest player in the team's history after fast-tracking his high school graduation.
In the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Hanifin was voted fifth overall by the Carolina Hurricanes. Hanifin signed a three-year, entry-level deal with the Hurricanes on July 11, 2015, forgoing the remainder of his college eligibility. He made his NHL debut against the Nashville Predators on October 8, 2015. Hanifin scored his first NHL goal against Anton Khudobin of the Anaheim Ducks on November 16, 2015. Hanifin played in 79 games for his rookie season, scoring 4 goals and 22 points.
Hanifin was selected as the sole representative of the Hurricanes at the 2018 NHL All-Star Game on January 15, 2018. Hanifin was diagnosed with a concussion and was barred from entering indefinitely on March 19, 2018. Hanifin returned to the Hurricanes' lineup on March 24 after missing just three games, defeating the Ottawa Senators 5–2. Hanifin scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal. Despite the Hurricanes not qualifying for the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs, Hanifin finished the regular season with a career-high 10 goals and 32 points.
Hanifin was traded to the Calgary Flames in exchange for Dougie Hamilton, Micheal Ferland, and prospect Adam Fox. The Flames signed Hanifin to a six-year, $29.7 million contract extension worth $4.95 million per year on August 30.
Hanifin became the 6th youngest U.S.-born player to play in a regular season match against the Edmonton Oilers on February 6, 2021. Calgary defeated Edmonton 6-4.
