Career

During his junior time Henry played with the Quebec citadels in the QJHL. In the season 1953/54, he came to his NHL debut with the New York Rangers. He was the best rookie in his class and was therefore awarded the Calder Memorial Trophy. After 21 games the following season, the Rangers sent him to Quebec Aces in the QHL. This was followed by one and a half years at the Providence Reds in the AHL. Only in the course of the season 1956/57, he returned to the Rangers and sat down, this time permanently by. With only two penalty minutes in 70 games the following season he won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy. He was always one of the most prolific attackers at Rangers, but was hard to find on the penalty bench. On 1 November 1959, when Jacques Plante played for the first time with goalie mask, Henry was the first player who overcame him. In his last season at Rangers 1964/65 he first came over ten penalty minutes. End of the season he moved to the Chicago Blackhawks.

The following year he played with the St. Louis Braves in the CPhl. He thought to end his career, but returned in exchange for Paul Shmyr to the New York Rangers. Half the year he played with the Buffalo Bisons in the AHL.

Together with Bill Plager he moved to the St. Louis Blues. In the 1968/69 season he was one of the best scorers for the Blues. After several assignments with the Kansas City Blues in the Central Hockey League, he finished his career in 1970.

In the Kansas City Blues, he then worked as a coach. He later coached the New York Raiders in the World Hockey Association.
