On the ice, Handrahan was known for his aggressive, "all-action" style of play which led to frequent fights and penalties. While attending the Maple Leafs training camp, Handrahan got into five fights, all of which he won. During his professional career, Handrahan was a polarizing figure, earning a "fan favourite" award from his team during his first season, while often subjected to insults and thrown objects from visiting fans after fights. Handrahan retired from professional hockey in 1978, and pursued a career with the Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company.
Handrahan was inducted into the Prince Edward Island Sports Hall of Fame on September 2, 2006.Handrahan, Alf - Hockey - PEI Sports Hall of Fame
