Tim Henderson '12 will be deployed to Afghanistan for active duty at the end of the month, before he has a chance to suit up for the Vancouver Stealth’s 2014 season. Stealth Head Coach Chris Hall knows Henderson’s departure will be missed on and off the turf, "I think that’s a big hole for us that were going to need to fill, Tim’s an incredible athlete and an incredible person, what he brought to the team were considerable in the impact for us."
Henderson will most likely miss the entire NLL season with the Stealth but it doesn’t seem to faze the 6'2" defenseman. If given the opportunity to return and make a contribution to the team, Henderson is will to do anything, "I loved playing with the team and I'd love to have any role, if they wanted me to show up and get water for the guys, I'd just like to be there." For now serving in the United States Military is Henderson’s focus even though some aspects of his lacrosse life will translate into his army life: “Lacrosse is a team sport and really at the end of the day you get into the army, and it’s a team sport.”
