- Garry_Howatt abstract "Garry Robert Charles Howatt (born September 26, 1952 in Grand Centre, Alberta) is a retired Canadian ice hockey forward.Howatt started his National Hockey League career with the New York Islanders in 1972. He also played for the New Jersey Devils and Hartford Whalers. He retired after the 1984 season. Howatt was known for his toughness and, due to his small size, had the nickname "Toy Tiger."Howatt enjoyed his greatest popularity with the Islanders, remaining on the team from their first season, through their formative years of steady improvement, right through to their first two Stanley Cups in 1980 and 1981. Howatt was a great fan favorite and to this day remains near and dear to the hearts of nostalgic fans of the great Islander teams of the 1970s and 1980s. Fans loved Howatt for his scrappy, energetic style of play and, most of all, his willingness to stand up to the giant enforcers of his generation such as Dave Schultz, Paul Holmgren, Barry Beck, Dave Semenko, Behn Wilson, Bob Kelly, Danny Gare, Willi Plett, Terry O'Reilly, Stan Jonathan, Wayne Cashman, Bryan Maxwell, Jay Wells, Tiger Williams, Dave Hoyda, Jim Korn, and many more. Howatt was just 5'9" and weighed 170, giving height, weight and reach to just about anybody he fought. Even when Howatt lost a fight, he would skate away with his characteristic grin that would delight fans. For this reason, the fans established a Garry Howatt-Bob Nystrom (a fellow NY Islanders pugilist) booster club, called the Dynamic Duo Fan Club, that was active throughout the 1970s.When he left the Islanders in 1981, Howatt held the Islanders' career penalty-minutes record (1,466) and career playoffs penalty-minutes record (279). Both records were later broken. In Hartford, Howatt scored a career-high 50 points and was offered a long-term contract and the team's captaincy. However, in his words, "bad advice from some former teammates" led him to request a trade to New Jersey where, after squabbling with the team's management, he played only sporadically before ending his career with the Maine Mariners of the AHL, where he helped them win a Calder Cup and was there Captain.On January 15, 1983 Howatt (as a member of the New Jersey Devils) and Mickey Volcan (as a member of the Hartford Whalers) became the only active players to officiate an NHL game when a snowstorm prevented a referee and a linesman from reaching the Hartford Civic Center for a game between the Whalers and Devils.On a personal note, Howatt suffered from epilepsy and was recognized by the epilepsy community for his grittyness by being awarded the National Epileptic Foundation Man of the Year for 1974. He later resided in New Jersey, where he owned and operated his own business, Mt. Freedom Golf, which he sold in 2010. Howatt now lives in Arizona with his wife and is still active playing hockey with NHL alumni. He is also active in rodeos throughout Arizona, participating in the Team Roping competitions.".
