Career

Henrich began his career in 1996 in the Canadian Junior League Ontario Hockey League with the Barrie Colts . After he made there through good performance to attention, he was selected during the NHL Entry Draft 1998 by the Edmonton Oilers in the first round in a total of 13th position.

After further career stints with the Hershey Bears , the Swedish club Mora IK and the Toronto Roadrunners , Henrich signed a contract with the then Austrian second division club EK Zell am See for the 2004/05 season .

There the Canadian was one of the team's best scorers and was able to score 77 times in 34 games. As a result, those responsible for the Duisburg Füchse became aware of him and transferred him to the German Ice Hockey League in summer 2005, where he received a one-year contract. Henrichs could not repeat his good performances, also due to the higher and significantly stronger league, and after the end of his contract he moved to the 2nd Bundesliga to the Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg.

With the Grizzly Adams, the right-shooter rose to the DEL at the end of the season . Henrich stayed in Wolfsburg for another year, playing 56 games and scoring 31 points before his contract expired in summer 2008. In the summer of 2008 he signed with the Italian first division Asiago Hockey in the A1 series . After the 2009/10 season he extended his contract for another two years.

In August 2012 the Canadian was signed by EC Dornbirn from the Erste Bank Ice Hockey League . After one season, Henrich moved to EIHL to Coventry Blaze , where his brother Adam was also under contract at the time.
