The young man, born in 2001, played twenty games with Oregon over the past three seasons and also played for the Utica Jr. Comets in the USPHL Premier and NCDC.
We would like to extend our sincerest condolences to his family, loved ones, and teammates, who are going through a terrible ordeal right now.

The official announcement comes directly from UO Hockey, and the exact cause of death has not yet been publicly disclosed.
Karin Erickson Bradford, Henry's mother, stated in a social media post that the cause of his death may be linked to a "cardiac incident" that occurred in Bradford's apartment.
