AI-assisted summary
The 27-year-old Henderson is a native of Smiths Falls, Ontario, and grew up playing hockey as a goalie.
Henderson has won 13 LPGA events, including the 2015 Cambia Portland Classic.
It wasn't the two majors or the record of winningest Canadian golfer – male or female – that solidified it for Brooke Henderson. It wasn't until Henderson took a look at her own bobblehead that she felt she'd crossed a certain threshold of fame.
"I feel like as an athlete, when you have your own bobblehead, you've kind of made it," she said with a laugh after unveiling mini Brooke.
The Brooke Henderson bobblehead giveaway takes place March 10 at the Ottawa Senators home game against the Detroit Red Wings.
Henderson, 27, is a native of Smiths Falls, Ontario, and grew up playing goalie.
'I had a lot of pressure on me for a lot of the time to stop the puck when it really counted,' she once said of her formative years on the ice.
Last September, Henderson signed a multiyear sponsorship with the Senators. Henderson and her sister Brittany, who works as her caddie, wear the Senators colors at least once per tournament and Brooke's towel and water bottle feature the NHL team's logo.
A 13-time winner on the LPGA, Henderson won the 2015 Cambia Portland Classic after Monday-qualifying to earn LPGA membership.

Ultrarunner opens up about nursing baby before winning 100K race
An ultra-distance runner is opening up after winning a 100-kilometer race while nursing her infant daughter. Stephanie Case came in first in the women's field at the Ultra-Trail Snowdonia by Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc event, held between May 16 and 18 at Eryri National Park in the Snowdonia region of Wales. Along the way, she continually stopped to meet with her partner and nurse her daughter Pepper at three different aid stations. Case told ABC News it was like a "normal day" for her, but also acknowledged it wasn't an easy feat to switch from competition mode to nurture mode and then back again. "When you're out on the trail, you're in race mode, and the adrenaline is pumping and you're trying to move as quickly as possible over the trails. But as any mom out there will know, when you're breastfeeding, your kid can pick up on your own energy, so when I got into the aid station, I needed to try to forget that I was in a race," the 42-year-old Canadian said. Case, who has been ultrarunning for nearly 20 years, said she was easing back into running after giving birth in November and was treating the Ultra-Trail Snowdonia event, her first in nearly three years, as a warm-up race. She said she didn't even initially realize she had finished in first place among the female runners. "When I finished, I ran across the finish line, and I was so excited, because I felt like I'd had a strong day for me," Case said. "And then the race organizer said, 'Hold on, we're checking the chip times but we think you might have won.' And I was absolutely floored. I had to get them to repeat it multiple times." Case's victory was especially sweet and triumphant because she said she had a "challenging" pregnancy journey, which was marked by two miscarriages and multiple rounds of in vitro fertilization treatment. "Any new mom out there will know we are the best at multitasking," said Case. "This just added another layer of logistics … and I seem to manage them OK." Since her comeback victory, many have praised Case and said they're inspired by what she has been able to accomplish. "Wow - this is sooooo cool, well done! I am a mum of two (nearly 4 year old and a 6 month old) I've never really exercised, but I am determined to start running and this is just such a massive inspiration," wrote one Instagram user. "If you can do this I gotta be able to do my little couch to 5k, no matter how many weeks it takes. Find it so hard to make time for myself and get out." Case, who said she feels "pretty good" since the race, said she hopes to pass along that extra boost of motivation to other women, especially to moms-to-be and new moms like her. "They don't have to give up their passions and their dreams when they become a mom," said Case. "The things that make us happy and whole are the things that make us better parents." Case said she plans on racing again this summer, making her return to the Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run, also known as the Hardrock 100.

Hec's last marathon may have been run with his son
Petawawa – Not too many dads at the age of 75 can boast running a half marathon with their 46-year-old son, but Hec Clouthier of Petawawa can claim he has done that as well as completing 50 full marathons (42 kms) and 17 half marathons. Mr. Clouthier and his son, Jeff, were among the 9,800 runners participating in the recent Ottawa Marathon, finishing the course in 2:03:45, a respectable time considering his age and the fact it was only Jeff's second time running a half marathon. The first time Jeff ran in a marathon was 16 years ago at the age of 30, but he came away from it with a stress fracture and ended up in a walking cast for six weeks. He complained about a sore leg throughout the race, but his dad blamed it on a lack of training. When the two crossed the finish line, (Hec insisted they finish the race running rather than walking) not only did he feel bad for berating him, but even worse after his wife, Debbie was finished with him. 'It turned out to be disastrous for him because at about the 16 km mark he started hobbling,' the senior Mr. Clouthier said. 'I thought maybe he just cramped his leg. He thought he had broken his leg. I told him he didn't break his leg, he just didn't train enough.' The two slowed down. Then Jeff started walking and then he was limping. 'Then we saw the finish line and I said, 'okay Jeff, we are not walking across that finish line. We are going to run across that finish line'. I was kind of giving it to him a bit, saying he didn't train enough. We crossed the finish line and he was leaning on me.' Heading into the recent Ottawa event, they set their time for 2:15, which is still a decent time for a half marathon. But as they ran the course, Jeff insisted they start running a bit faster to improve their completion time. Although the senior Mr. Clouthier was concerned his son might run out of gas, Jeff kept urging him to pick up the pace, and they crossed the finish line just over two hours later. Jeff was ecstatic. And dad was thrilled, saying it is not very often that sort of thing happens. 'I mean, how many other people 46 years old can say I ran a half marathon with my 75-year-old father?' Running marathons has been a passion for the former Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Member of Parliament, who ran his 50th marathon in New York City last November. Now he is contemplating giving up marathons. 'If it (Ottawa) is my last long-distance run, it is a good way to go out with your 46-year-old son,' he said. It was a great day for running in Ottawa, he said. The weather wasn't exceedingly hot like last year when he ran the full marathon, and it was much too hot. He has run most of his 50 marathons in Ottawa, Toronto, Boston and New York. But he has also competed in marathons in Europe and Australia. When he ran what may have been his last marathon last November, at age 75, he didn't realize he was the fastest Canadian in the 75 and over age group. While his days of marathons might have come to an end, his days of running have not. He starts each day with a 10 km run. 'I don't run fast, but I run a route near my house,' he said. It's on Gutzman Road, from the top of Gutzman Hill down to the Ottawa River. 'From the top of the hill to the Ottawa River, the end of the pavement and back, is exactly 2.5 kms so I do that four times every day,' he shared. 'It's all downhill one way and all uphill the other way and the more times I run that and the more years I run that, that hill is starting to look like Mt. Everest, but I just take my time.' So what is it about running that has made it a lifelong passion for him? 'Just to stay in shape physically,' he said. 'I have always said running is good for you physically. It's even better for you mentally. I encourage people. Some people say they couldn't run a marathon or a half-marathon. I just say you don't have to. Just get out of the house, put on your walking shoes, and go for a walk. 'And if you want to run a little bit, you can run a little bit. Just get out there and see things. It makes your mind work.' Mr. Clouthier said anyone can run a marathon or a half marathon if they do the training, have the time or if their body permits them to. 'Motion is lotion,' he quipped. He admits there are mornings he gets up and has to drag himself out. But once you do it, you feel better. I have a treadmill and stationary bike, but I like outdoor running. If it's 40 or 30 below, you just dress accordingly. If it's 30 above, just dress accordingly.' Running allows him the time to think about a lot of things, and because he prefers to run alone, there no interruptions. 'I have been asked many times to run with different running groups and I said nothing against the running groups, but I prefer to be alone out there.' Error!
