History
2008-09: The large winger played scored 7 goals with 12 assists in his first season with Val d'Or (QMJHL). Two of his five goals came on the power play and he finished +5 with 26 PMs. Henley played for Team Quebec at the U-17 World Hockey Challenge and had 1 goal with 5 assists in five games.
2009-10: Henley was limited to 44 regular season games due to injury in his second season with Val d'Or. He scored 5 goals with 7 assists and was -8 with 43 minutes during the regular season. In six playoff games for the Foreurs he was scoreless and -3 with 6 PMs.
2010-11: Henley got off to a fast start in his third season with Val d'Or, posting points in seven of his first twelve games, before suffering a wrist injury in October that required surgery and kept him out of the lineup until late February. In 22 regular season contests, he had 5 goals with 12 assists and was +5 with 26 PMs. In the Foreurs four-game playoff loss to the Quebec Remparts he was scoreless and -4 with 6 PMs.
Talent Analysis
Henley is a talented left winger with power forward size. He has earned the dreaded “injury prone” title after missing more than 50% of his team’s games in his four QMJHL seasons. Henley can be a dangerous player offensively and he plays with an edge so he has pro potential but with only one more year of junior hockey left he will have little time to prove it.
Future
Henley’s main focus in 2011-12 will be to try to stay healthy for an entire season. That will be the first step in his road to earning an entry level deal with the Sabres. If he can remain in the lineup and convince the Sabres he is worthy of a deal then he has the potential to be third or fourth liner in the NHL someday.
