a contract with the Red Wings in 1939 but did not see any action
with them until 1940-41 and was between the pipes for the big
club for 48 games. He was the team's undisputed number one
goaltender for three years. In 1941 and 1942 Mowers and the Red
Wings advanced to the Stanley Cup finals, only to be turned back
by the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs. However, in
1943 Detroit got its revenge, beating the Bruins in four-straight
games to take the championship. Mowers was outstanding in goal,
winning eight of his team playoff games, while recording two
shutouts and a 1.94 GAA. The regular season was also kind to the
lanky goalie who won the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goalie
and was also honoured by being named to the NHL's First All-Star
Team.

| Jim "Sugar" Henry
autograph |

| In 1941 Henry
caught the attention of the New York Rangers GM, Frank Boucher.
Boucher needed a replacement for his old mainstay, Davie Kerr.
Henry was brought east to Broadway where he impressed Ranger fans
and management winning 29 games and helping the club to secure a
first-place finish. World War II caused Henry to miss the
following 3 seasons. In 1947, he returned to regular NHL duties,
but finished below .500, first with the Rangers and then with the
Blackhawks. Another two-year stint in the USHL and the AHL,
however, revived Henry's edge. The Bruins picked him up in 1951,
and he delivered some of the most exciting moments of his career,
leading the Bruins to the finals in 1953 where they lost to the
powerhouse Canadiens four games to one.
His NHL career stats are as
follows:
406 games played - 161 wins - 173 losses
