Born in Quebec City in the early portion of The Great Depression, Camille Henry would play his junior hockey as a member of the Quebec Citadelles of the Quebec Junior Hockey League, Henry would step into the bright lights of Manhattan and the rest of New York City beginning in the 1953-54 regular season and would go on to a National Hockey League career that would span a total of 727 games over the course of fourteen (14) years in the league, spending twelve (12) of them in a Rangers uniform while also enjoying short stays in Chicago and St. Louis as well. A Calder Cup champion in 1956 and selected to NHL All-Star Games' in 1958, 1963 and 1964, Henry would win the Lady Byng Trophy in 1958 and be ranked at number twenty-one (21) in the 2009 book "100 Ranger Greats" out of the 901 New York Rangers who had played during the team's first 82 seasons. Offered here, we present this stick used by Henry as a member of the Rangers during the period of the late-1950s/early-1960s. A CCM Custom Pro Pattern Made model with "Henry" stamped over the upper shaft below his penned "21" uniform number which appears in black marker ink. Retaining its original black tape job around the handle/knob, the stick also sports "Gerry Cosby & Co." stamps over both sides of the shaft as well. Void of the striping accent sticker that once appeared wrapped around the lower shaft, the stick shows heavy wear via numerous dark marks and abrasions throughout its entirety, including over the shaft, lower shaft, heel and blade. Also showing many cracks in the blade, including a long one extending in from the toe to the middle, good wear is found over the bottom edge as well through missing pieces while a nail/staple is seen in the blade as well, driven in through the bottom edge.
