Howatt was known for his toughness and, due to his small size, had the nickname "Toy Tiger."[1] CareerJunior and AHLBorn in Grand Centre, Alberta, Howatt played one season in the WCHL with the Flin Flon Bombers in 1971-72. He amassed 79 points in 60 games. That year he was drafted into the NHL by the New York Islanders at the 1972 NHL Amateur Draft. The following year he played with the New Haven Nighthawks of the American Hockey League, scoring 49 points in 65 games.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}} NHLHowatt started his National Hockey League career with the New York Islanders in 1972. 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, known along with teammate Bobby Nystrom as a member of the "Dynamic Duo", was a fan favourite admired for his scrappy, energetic style of play. For this reason, Islander fans established a Howatt-Nystrom booster club, called the "Dynamic Duo Fan Club", which was active throughout the 1970s.[1] When he left the Islanders in 1981, Howatt held the Islanders' career penalty-minutes record (1,466) and career playoffs penalty-minutes record (279).[1] With the Hartford Whalers, 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 the New Jersey Devils, and was traded with Rick Meagher for Merlin Malinowski and the rights to Scott Fusco.[2] After squabbling with Devils' management, he played only sporadically before ending his career with the Maine Mariners of the American Hockey League (AHL), where he helped them win a Calder Cup as their captain.[3][4] On January 15, 1983 Howatt, as a member of the Devils, and Mickey Volcan, as a member of the Whalers, became the only active players to officiate an NHL game, when a snowstorm prevented a referee, Ron Fournier, and a linesman, Ron Asselstine, from reaching the Hartford Civic Center for a game between the two teams.[5][6] He retired after the 1983–84 NHL season. Personal lifeHowatt suffers from epilepsy and was recognized by the epilepsy community for his grittiness 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{{when?|date=January 2019}} 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 team roping competitions.[7] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=NYI TOP 10: ENFORCERS 1-5|url=http://islanders.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=465691|publisher=New York Islanders|accessdate=1 January 2016|date=5 June 2008}} 2. ^{{cite news|last1=Eskenazi|first1=Gerald|title=DEVILS GET HOWATT FROM THE WHALERS|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/10/16/sports/devils-get-howatt-from-the-whalers.html|publisher=New York Times|accessdate=1 January 2016|date=16 October 1982}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Jacobs|first1=Jeff|title=Coach John Paddock's Long, Strange Trip To Become The Leader Of The Pack|url=http://articles.courant.com/2000-05-24/sports/0005240060_1_tom-mcvie-hockey-coach-whalers|publisher=Hartford Courant|accessdate=1 January 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Mariners Are Honored|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1899&dat=19840519&id=ncZGAAAAIBAJ&sjid=zPMMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3487,2657908&hl=en|publisher=The Lewiston Journal|accessdate=1 January 2016|date=19 May 1984}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Whalers Top Devils, 2-1|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1983/01/16/sports/no-headline-168383.html|publisher=New York Times|accessdate=1 January 2016|date=16 January 1983}} 6. ^{{cite web|last1=Pinchevsky|first1=Tal|title=Volcan, Howatt made NHL history 30 years ago|url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=650647|publisher=NHL.com|accessdate=1 January 2016}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|last=Leonard |first=Pat |url=http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/hockey/new-york-islanders-devils-tough-guy-garry-howatt-takes-fight-rodeo-article-1.439904 |title=Brawler Howatt takes his fight to the rodeo |publisher=NY Daily News |date=2010-09-25 |accessdate=2016-01-01}} External links
