Paul Henderson to celebrate 80th birthday by conducting a ceremonial faceoff at grandson’s college game
Long accustomed to being recognized in most every rink he enters in Canada, Paul Henderson enjoys attending his grandson’s college hockey games in relative anonymity while seated with his wife Eleanor in Section 10 of Buffalo’s Harborcenter.
“You know, you’ve got to be over 50 to know who the heck I am,” he said, breaking into a self-deprecating laugh by phone from his home in Mississauga. Henderson long ago accepted the trappings of celebrity that come with his place in history. An entire country was caught in the grips of paralysis watching a collection of some of Canada’s best players fall behind 3-1-1 to an upstart, play-making Soviet Union team, before winning the final three games – all decided by one goal.
“I was just talking to my doctor this morning and my bloodwork last week was as good as I’ve had since before I got cancer,” said Henderson. He split his first 12 NHL seasons between Toronto and Detroit, played another five seasons in the World Hockey Association before closing his career with the NHL’s Atlanta Flames in 1979-80.
