Tyrone
Henry

Defenceman Tyrone Henry has been named the City of Ottawa’s male athlete of the year three times (2022, 2024, 2025), one of only four athletes to win it more than twice.

At the 2025 Para hockey world championships, Henry was named Canada’s player of the game in the gold medal final loss to the U.S. and was a +10 during the five game tournament.

Canada won the gold medal at the 2024 worlds and Henry sparkled again with his outstanding play and also registering six assists, to place fourth in scoring among defencemen. He was also +14 and reached the 100-game career milestone with the national team.

Henry is a two-time Paralympian helping Canada to silver medals at the 2018 and 2022 Winter Games. He’s also been on Team Canada at the last five world championships with two gold and three silver medals.

After his accident in September 2010, Henry met Canadian Para ice hockey player Marc Dorion, who became his mentor. The defenceman was named to his first national team roster for the 2016-17 season and concluded a successful season with gold at the 2017 World Championships.

Henry played able-bodied ice hockey prior to his injury and said he had a difficult time adapting to Para ice hockey at the beginning due to the difference in skating methods.
