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 LOCAL NEWS Imm Martin Bader Dinner Guest Martin Bader, co-chairman of the fund-raising effort for the Michigan Applied Research Fund the "STAR" (Support Technion Applied Research) Project, will give an update about the project at the 39th annual Detroit Chapter, American Technion Society dinner to be held on Thursday at Cong.
