Henderson has not officiated since allegedly sustaining a serious concussion after a check from Calgary Flames player Dennis Wideman in a game on January 27, 2016. Despite the injury, Henderson was able to finish the game, but developed concussion symptoms and back and neck pain in the following days. Wideman was initially suspended for 20 games by the league for deliberate physical abuse of an official, but an independent arbitrator confirmed the check to be unintentional and reduced the suspension to 10 games.
On April 20, 2017, the CBC reported that Henderson was seeking a payout from both Wideman and the Calgary Flames for CA$10.25 million as a result of the alleged injuries sustained from the hit.
