History
Not opting into the 2004 NHL Draft hasn’t hurt T. J. Hensick’s draft stock this year. He, along with junior Jeff Tambellini (LA) comprised one of the nation’s most lethal offensive duos this season. Not surprisingly, both were named co-recipients of Michigan’s Hal Downes Trophy, which recognizes the team’s most valuable player. Hensick finished second on the Wolverines in points with 55 (23 goals, 32 assists) He also finished second on the team in goals and assists as well. He also finished fourth in the nation in points per game (1.41). Among the many accolades Hensick received this season included being named one of the ten finalists for the Hobey Baker Award, selections to the All-America West as well as the CCHA All-Conference First Teams. Hensick was also a member of Team USA’s 2005 U-20 WJC squad.
Talent Analysis
One way to describe T. J. Hensick is poetry in high-speed motion. He is a tremendously gifted offensive player who combines flair and creativity with blazing speed. He is of the pure goal-scorer variety. Hensick is a player who is very confident and has excellent hockey sense. His speed and quickness makes him an extremely difficult player to defend against. Hensick is very good on faceoffs, possesses a very quick release and dominates with the puck. The biggest knock on Hensick may be that he tends to avoid the physical side of the game. He has demonstrated that he can give and take the hits but it is not often, if rarely evident. He could also be more involved in the defensive side of the game as well.
