Career

Henrique spent a very successful four-year junior period between 2006 and 2010 with the Windsor Spitfires in the Ontario Hockey League . They had selected him in the second round in the OHL Priority Selection 2006 in 24th place. In his first season, in which the Spitfires missed the play-offs , the striker reached 44 scorer points . This value was confirmed in the following season, after which he had been selected in the NHL Entry Draft 2008 in the third round in 82nd position by the New Jersey Devils . In his third junior season, the attacker increased his points yield considerably and won both the J. Ross Robertson Cup and the Memorial Cup at the end of the season . In the Memorial Cup tournament, Henrique was the second best scorer in the competition behind Jamie Benn . The center played the last junior season as assistant captain and received his first professional contract with the New Jersey Devils in November 2009. At the end of the season, the Spitfires defended the two titles they had won last year. Henrique scored 20 goals in the course of the OHL play-offs - at the same time the most of all players - and was honored with the Wayne Gretzky 99 Award as the most valuable player in the play-offs.

After the end of the season Henrique switched to the professional field and was sent by the New Jersey management team in September 2010 to the farm team , the Albany Devils , in the American Hockey League . The striker spent the 2010/11 season there and scored 50 points in 73 games this season. On April 11, 2011 - shortly before the end of the season - the center forward made his NHL debut. It was his only NHL appearance that season. The following season Henrique also began in New Jersey. Only towards the end of October did he spend a week in Albany. Due to the injury of Travis Zajac , he quickly returned to New Jersey and received the vacant place in the first row next to Ilya Kowaltschuk and Zach Parise . The prominent storm colleagues helped Henrique to nominate the NHL Rookie of the Month for December 2011 and to be nominated for the SuperSkills competition of the rookies at the NHL All-Star Game 2012 in the Canadian capital Ottawa .

In the following years Henrique appeared as a regular scorer for the Devils, reaching 50 points in 2012 and 2016. After more than 400 games, the Devils gave him to the Anaheim Ducks in November 2017, including Joseph Blandisi and a third-round vote for the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and received Sami Vatanen in return . In addition, an additional third-round voting right changes back to New Jersey, provided Henrique signs a new contract in Anaheim. That condition was met in July 2018 when he signed a five-year contract with the Ducks that is expected to earn him an average annual salary of $ 5.825 million.

International

Henrique represented his home country Canada at the 2010 U20 World Youth Championship in the Canadian cities of Saskatoon and Regina . After a narrow 5-6 defeat in overtime to the United States , the Canadians won the silver medal. In six tournament games, Henrique scored a goal in the group stage in a 16-0 win over Latvia and received two penalty minutes.

Henrique made his international debut in the jersey of the senior national team at the 2019 World Cup in Slovakia , where he won the silver medal with the team.
