When asked about his time with the Ice Henderson commented, "After being out of football for a year and not being looked at by the NFL; having the opportunity to get back into a routine of practice, watching film and playing against good competition enabled me to focus on getting back to the NFL."
Ice Head Coach Heron O'Neal stated, "Mario's signing with the Chargers is one of many I expect to see moving up to the NFL or CFL from the Ice and the Indoor Football League."
