Playing career
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Henry started his NHL career in 1941 with the New York Rangers. He later played for the Chicago Black Hawks (1948–49) and the Boston Bruins (1951–52 through 1954–55). Henry appeared in the 1952 NHL All-Star game.
During the 1952 postseason, Henry recorded a playoff shutout in the semifinal round versus Montreal. At the end of Game #7 of that same series, Henry, sporting a black eye, was photographed shaking hands with Maurice Richard who was bandaged and bloodied. It is one of the most iconic NHL photographs ever taken.
In 2004, Henry was inducted into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame & Museum.
