Key Statistics: Henningson had his best collegiate year in terms of point production with three goals and 21 assists for 24 points. Only Mike Moore of Princeton had as many points among ECAC Hockey defensemen.

What He Does: Simply stated, a little bit of everything. His offensive numbers speak for themselves, as he makes good decisions and contributes on the power play. He is also among the best defenders in ECAC Hockey. Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold called Henningson, "the best defensive defenseman I've ever coached."

The Bigger Picture: After serving as an alternate captain during his junior campaign last year, Henningson was a clear-cut choice by his teammates to wear the C for this upcoming season. The Bobcats had some question marks on the blue line last year when two-time All-American Reid Cashman graduated but Henningson took on the responsibility of being Quinnipiac's leader among the defense corps.

Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold on what he expects from Henningson this season: "We just want him to keep doing what he did last year. He was the best player on our team from start to finish, and was the MVP on a team with pretty good players."
