Following the lead of his beloved Tampa Bay Lightning, Trevor Henry was hoisting a trophy of his own at centre ice on Sunday (May 1) after managing/coaching his Oh Henry! squad to victory in the 2022 Horsemen’s Hockey Tournament.
Henry’s team ran through the competition with a perfect record of 4-0, including an 8-2 beating of Team Jody Jamieson in the championship game. Goaltender Louis-Philippe Roy was stellar between the pipes for the champs, while those playing in front of him found instant chemistry to back-up the drafting of their manager.
Although the name of Trevor Henry will be etched on the trophy, those around the team chalked up the victory to great managing from Henry's daughter, Tess.
The members of the winning team are listed below:
Louis-Philippe Roy
Bryan Richardson
Ryan Marriage
Justin Abraham
Alec Morgan
Bruce Richardson
Brad Doyle
Matt Bax
Brady Jackson
Kris Rose
Cody Henry
Dan Pugliese
