But through it all, Marty Howe has maintained his determination Hockey’s headlines were dominated last month by the breaking up of the sport's first family. Hartford Whalers, on the eve of their first National Hockey League season, decided to send Marty Howe to the minors. The assignment of a defence-man to an American Hockey League club wouldn't normally cause such a stir. Hut Marty Howe is the oldest son of hockey's living legend. 51-yearold Gordie Howe. After 25 seasons with Detroit Hed Wings and two years’ retirement, Gordie Howe decided to join Houston Aeros of the fledgling W'orld Hockey Association in 1973. His decision to put the skates back on was based on one motive - to play on the same team with his sons, Marty and Mark. The trio was together for six seasons, first with Houston and then with the W'halers. The father beamed when talking of his sons as Mark became one of the WHA’s premier scorers and Marty played a steady brand of defence. But there was speculation in the off-season - as the WHA folded and the Whalers were one of four of its franchises gaining entry into the NHL — Keon's longevity impresses Lanny MORE SPORT that Marty Howe might be vulnerable. His production had fallen off from his four years with the Aeros by about 14 points a season. In addition, Marty missed 14 games last season because of a knee injury. “The knee is still not all that healthy," he said last week. "I’ve put a brace back on it.” When he was assigned to the Whalers’ primary farm team in Springfield. Mass., the 25-yearold native of Detroit said he was surprised. But his first thoughts were of his father. “It was a letdown for him,” Marty said. "He doesn't need to be let down He needs all the energy he can get." The Whalers management decided to use Marty’s assignment as an experiment. They switched the brothers’ roles, making Mark a defenceman against the NHL competition and asking Marty to learn to play forward “I think I had played six shifts up front in my entire career,” Marty said. “It's a lot to learn. I find myself getting out (of the opposition’s zone! right away. I have to learn to stay in deep.’’ The molding of Mark into a defenceman ended early in the Whalers’ season as coach Don Blackburn decided the team needed more scoring. Friday night, Marty was back on defence as the Indians played in New Haven against the Nighthawks. After eight minutes of play, he scored his first goal of the AHL season by taking his own rebound and flipping it into the net over the sprawled Nighthawks’ goalie “I look at all this as a learn- ing experience. "My going to Springfield all came down to playing or sitting in the stands. And that would be no fun “I'll be back," he said. “I expect to be around for a long time. Maybe not as long as Gordie, but still a long time." « FIFTH € n AVENUE CROSSING b 1 K00DKEY, Denise X HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -Toronto’s Lanny McDonald remembers when No. 14 used to wear the Maple Leafs’ colors. Five years later he’s still impressed. “Davey Keon is still the same Davey Keon," McDonald says about the veteran who now plays for Hartford Whalers of the National Hockey League. “He forechecks, backchecks and skates all the time, giving 110 per cent,” says McDonald. “I'm not surprised at all that he can still do the job," McDonald adds. “He’s a hard-worker who never gives up." Keon, who will be 40 in March, is playing in his 19th year of professional hockey. He skated 15 seasons in Toronto and was captain of the Leafs for six seasons. In 1975, Leafs owner Harold Ballard decided his veteran centreman was finished and released him “I can’t imagine what reason Ballard had to see Davey dismissed,” says Jack Kelley, Whalers’ director of hockey operations who has seen Keon become the quiet leader of the Whalers. “The man leads by example and watching him. people know he can still play." Keon, along with Gordie Howe, is a cornerstone for the Whalers, who survived seven seasons in the World Hockey Association. He mulled over thoughts of retiring after last season. Possibly the merger of the WHA with the NHL had something to do with his decision to return. “I made my mind up I was going to play during the summer,” Keon says. “The body wears down a little as you get older,” he adds. "Sometimes it’s a little tough to get ready to play. But hard work never hurt anyone and you have to pay the price to get into shape.” Hartford played Toronto in Maple Leafs Garden last Wednesday. Keon and Howe stole the show. Both men scored goals as the Whalers beat the Leafs 4-2. On Friday, Keon set up what proved to be the winning goal by Alan Hangsleben in a 5-3 victory over Toronto. Gainey injury hurts Montreal MONTREAL (CP) - Leftwinger Bob Gainey will be lost to Montreal Canadiens for at least two weeks after suffering a cracked bone in his left foot during the team’s National Hockey League game against Minnesota North Stars on Thursday night. The injury occurred when Gained was hit by the puck in the second period of the contest, which the Canadiens won 5-1.
