Playing career
Hannan's junior hockey career was divided between the Windsor Spitfires, Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, and Brantford Alexanders. He was drafted in the 10th round (196th overall) of the 1981 NHL Entry Draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Hannan's final NHL season was 1996–97, in which he played 34 games with the Ottawa Senators before retiring.
He currently resides in Venetia, PA.
