Playing career

Hendry played four years of collegiate hockey with the University of Alaska Fairbanks of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA). Undrafted, he signed his first professional contract with the Norfolk Admirals of the AHL on March 18, 2006. Hendry then played the end of the 2005–06 with the Admirals.

On July 17, 2006, Hendry was signed by the Admirals parent club, the Chicago Blackhawks, to a two-year contract. After making his NHL debut in the 2007–08 season with the Blackhawks, Jordan was re-signed for a further two years on June 24, 2008.

On June 9, 2010, Hendry won the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks. He brought the Cup to Nokomis the following July for pictures and autographs.

On February 27, 2011, during a game against the Phoenix Coyotes, Hendry suffered a season ending tear to the ACL in his left knee after a check from Coyotes forward Shane Doan sent him into the boards awkwardly.

In August 2011, Hendry signed a tryout contract with the Minnesota Wild. After ten games with the Wild's AHL affiliate, the Houston Aeros, to start the 2011–12 season, Hendry was released from his try-out contract and on November 1, 2011, he signed to his first European contract in Switzerland on a one-year deal with HC Lugano of the National League A.

Hendry signed a one-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks on July 1, 2012. After he was originally assigned to AHL affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals, to begin the 2012-13 season he appeared in two games for the Ducks.

On July 12, 2013, Hendry returned to Europe in signing a one-year contract with German club, Straubing Tigers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga.
