Minor hockey
Henrique grew up in the small rural Ontario town of Burford playing minor hockey for the Burford Coyotes of the OMHA Southern Counties League. He then graduated to the AAA Brantford 99ers of the Pavilion League where he played until Minor Midget in the 2005-06 season.In May 2006, Henrique was selected in the 2nd round (24th overall) in the 2006 OHL Priority Selection by the Windsor Spitfires. He then went on to win the Memorial Cup with Windsor in 2009 and in 2010.
He was a member of the Gold Medal Team Ontario U-17 team at the Canada Winter Games in Whitehorse, Yukon in February 2007. On that club, he was a teammate of first round draft selections Steven Stamkos, Alex Pietrangelo, Michael Del Zotto and Cody Hodgson.
Professional career
On April 11, 2011, Henrique made his NHL debut for the Devils in a game against the Boston Bruins. He scored his first NHL goal on November 3, 2011, against Sergei Bobrovsky of the Philadelphia Flyers.[1] Two nights later, Henrique had two breakaway goals against the Winnipeg Jets, the second goal being the game winner in overtime. With the absence of center Travis Zajac due to injury, Henrique was matched up with wingers Zach Parise and Ilya Kovalchuk on the top line for a short time.Adam recorded his first NHL fight on January 10, 2012, against the Calgary Flames. The same night, he also secured his first Gordie Howe hat trick (a goal, an assist, and a fight in the same game). He fought Flames captain Jarome Iginla in the first period and went on to record an assist and score a shorthanded goal in the 2nd period. Iginla also recorded a Gordie Howe hat trick, with a goal and two assists in addition to his fight against Henrique.
Adam was selected to compete in the NHL All-Star Rookie SuperSkills Competition in Ottawa on January 28, 2012. However, he did not participate due to a groin injury he received in a game against the Edmonton Oilers on January 11. He missed two games due to the injury and returned in a game against the Buffalo Sabres; he "tweaked" his groin again that night, initially causing him to withdraw from the competition.[2] Rookie teammate Adam Larsson also pulled out due to wrist soreness. Henrique was replaced by New York Rangers left wing Carl Hagelin and Larsson was replaced with Montreal Canadiens defenseman Raphael Diaz.
In the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs Game 7 against Florida, Henrique scored 2 goals, 1 being the double overtime winner sending the Devils to the Conference Semifinals. On May 25, 2012, Henrique scored 1:03 into overtime to eliminate the New York Rangers and send the Devils to the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals. This made him the first rookie to score two series-clinching overtime goals in the same playoffs. Henrique was one of the final nominees for the Calder Trophy which is awarded to the top rookie of the NHL; the award went to Gabriel Landeskog of the Colorado Avalanche.
