Henning brings nine years of playing experience at the professional level to the Blue Jays, and has been involved in the management aspect of the sport since 2003.

The '96 graduate of Randolph-Macon College also suited up for the Delaware Wizards (1997-98), the Hershey Wildcats (1999-2001) and, most recently, the Harrisburg City Islanders (2004).
The outdoor game was not Henning's only stop. He also spent three seasons with the Baltimore Blast and six with the Harrisburg Heat on the indoor circuit.

From 2007-09, Henning served as general manager of the City Islanders, where he directed all operations of the franchise, including budget, marketing, ticket sales and player contracts.
