Paul Henderson (born January 28, 1943) is a retired ice hockey player, born in Kincardine, Ontario, Canada. He played right wing.
Playing Career
Henderson played 13 seasons in the NHL. He began his career in 1962 with the Detroit Red Wings, staying there until 1968 (with the exception of the 1963 season, when he played for the Pittsburgh Hornets of the AHL). He was traded by Detroit with Norm Ullman and Floyd Smith to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Frank Mahovlich, Gary Unger, Pete Sternowski and the contract rights to Carl Brewer on March 3rd, 1968.
He was among the NHL players selected to compete against the USSR in the 1972 Summit Series. He became famous in Canada after scoring the winning goals in the final three games of the eight-game series, securing the Canadian victory.
In 1974 Henderson left the Maple Leafs and the NHL altogether, jumping ship to the rival WHA, where he played for the Toronto Toros. He remained with the Toros franchise after its relocation to Birmingham to become the Bulls, and remained with the Bulls after they transferred to the CHL in 1979.
Interestingly, he also played for Canada in the 1974 Summit Series, in which Canadian WHA players were pitted against the Soviet team.
He returned to the NHL in 1980 for one final season, playing for the Atlanta Flames. The following season he returned to the CHL's Bulls and retired in 1981.
Henderson remains best known for scoring the winning goals in the sixth, seventh and eighth (deciding) games of the 1972 Summit Series.
