Notable Appearances
On November 1, 1959 when Jacques Plante first wore a mask for protection in a game, Camille was the only player to score on him in that game.
On December 12, 1963 Camille participated in an NHL record when the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers combined for the fastest three goals by two teams in NHL history. Dave Balon and Gilles Tremblay scored for Montreal and Camille Henry scored for the Rangers, all within 18 seconds. The record stood until Feb. 10, 1983.
Camille scored the first ever hat trick for the St. Louis Blues.
Post-playing career
Henry coached the Kansas City Blues of the Central Professional Hockey LeagueCentral Hockey League in 1969-70 and then coached the New York Raiders of the World Hockey Association but he never duplicated his early success. He coached the New Jersey Rockets semi-pro hockey club that played at Ice World in Totowa, NJ in the mid/late 1970s. Henry eventually ran the twin rinks in Totowa, New Jersey and Branchbrook Park in Newark.
Henry was married and divorced from Dominique Michel, famed Quebec chanteuse and comedienne. After his retirement Henry lived in Quebec City and held security jobs, eventually becoming essentially destitute. He was widely considered [citation needed] to have an alcohol consumption problem which was complicated by diabetes. He died shortly after receiving his first reimbursement for the players' pension fund which was awarded by the courts.
