Packing A Punch

Continued from preceding page

player who must always be
ready to fight the opponent's
toughest player. Most NHL
enforcers are three or four in-
ches taller and 20 to 30
pounds heavier than Hart-
man. But he adds that he will
not shy away from a fight. "If
they're there, I'll fight. I
fought some tough guys. I had
a good fight in Boston Garden
one night against (Geoff)
Courtnall. I fought Scott
Stevens. I fought a few tough
guys. But I'm not out there to
fight, I'm out there to play
tough and make the big hit
and work hard in the cor-
ners."
Before the 1984-85 junior
season, • Hartman was rated
by scouts as a potential 1985
NHL draft choice. But at that
time, Hartman's parents,
John and Cheri, were divorc-
ed and Hartman feels that af-
' fected his game. He had a
poor year in his first OHL
season, with Belleville. He
was not drafted. Belleville
then traded him to North
Bay. He bounced back with a
23-goal season in 1985-86,
leading to his selection by
Buffalo.
So despite his apparently
rapid rise to the NHL, Hart-
man has paid some dues,
which no doubt helps him
keep his current success in
perspective. "I consider
myself fortunate to play in
the pros, at least to see how
it is. A lot of kids won't ever
have that chance, just to play
that one game. Now my goal
is to stay in the NHL as long
as I possibly can . . . Hockey,
to me, is my life now. I make
good money at it and I've
always wanted to re a hockey
player. If not that, I'd be in
business. I'd be going to col-
lege right now if I wasn't play-
ing hockey."
This season, Hartman will
either play for the Sabres or
for their American Hockey
League farm team in
Rochester, N.Y. "I'm playing
everything by ear and I'm just
gonna work hard and if I get
sent to the minors I won't
even be upset."
Hartman was among the
final few players assigned to
Rochester by the Sabres
before the regular season
began two weeks ago.

Coury believes that Hart-
man is NHL material. "I
think he has a good chance.
I'm not going to say he's go-
ing to be a Hall-of-Famer, but
he has a good chance to play
in the NHL. He's gone this
far. Who knows how much far-
ther he can go?"
Whether he plays in Buf-
falo, or Rochester, or both this
season, Hartman is looking
forward to a full year of pro
hockey. "I know this year,

since I'm only 20 . . . it might
be one of those up-and-down
years, but I know one day I'm
gonna hope to stick in the
NHL for a long time."
"I always want to be with
Buffalo. Buffalo's just my
team now. That's where my
heart is right now. A lot of
people say, 'Would you like to
play for your home-town,
Detroit (Red Wings)?' When I
was younger I would say yes,
or if I didn't have a contract
with Buffalo I'd say yes, but
I'm a Buffalo Sabre. It means
a lot to me." 0
