Hendy spent time in
Vancouver, British Columbia, before moving to
New York City and working a number of odd jobs. He took a position submitting statistics and other information to
Western Union for various sporting events at
Madison Square Garden. His accuracy, graceful style, and general sports knowledge earned him a reputation as a quality writer with newspapers in the city. This reputation led him to a number of other writing posts for publications such as The New York Telegraph,
Saturday Evening Post and
McCall's. In 1933, Hendy began publishing a statistical work entitled
The Hockey Guide which he produced yearly until 1951. Due to the increase in demands on his time by his career, he transferred responsibility for his statistics to the
National Hockey League (NHL). In the following years, Hendy took numerous jobs in hockey including president of the
United States Hockey League,
publicist for the NHL
New York Rangers, and general manager of the
American Hockey League Cleveland Barons. ==Reputation and honors==
