Henderson
is best known for leading Team Canada to victory at the 1972 Summit Series
against the Soviet Union. Played during the Cold War, the series was viewed as
a battle for both hockey and cultural supremacy. Henderson scored the
game-winning goal in the sixth, seventh and eighth games, the last of which has
become legendary in Canada and made him a national hero: it was voted the
"sports moment of the century" by The Canadian Press and earned him
numerous accolades. Henderson has twice been inducted into Canada's Sports Hall
of Fame: in 1995 individually and in 2005 along with all players of the Summit
Series team. He was inducted into the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall
of Fame in 2013.
