Henderson notches first as a Tiger in 8-1 knockout over Kootenay
CRANBROOK, B.C. – It took Jordan Henderson eight games to notch his first goal as a Medicine Hat Tiger.
The 19-year-old defenceman scored the opening Tabbies tally midway through the first period, Max Gerlach scored twice, and the Medicine Hat Tigers steam-rolled through the Kootenay Ice 8-1 Tuesday night.
Henderson’s first as a Tiger is his second of the season, and third of his three-year WHL career. It came in the opening period, tying the game at 1-1 after Max Patterson opened the scoring for the Ice. Originally drafted by the Spokane Chiefs, Henderson was acquired from Saskatoon just days before the WHL trade deadline in exchange for a draft pick.
Things began to click for the Tigers after that first marker.
