(AP) — Despite the many awards and honors heaped on Gordie Howe, -the retirement of his number by a second National Hockey League team is special, Howe says what makes the retirement of his No. 9 on Wednesday unique is that it is being done by Hartford Whalers, the only NHL team he and his two sons, Marty and Mark, skated for as team-mates, “This is where it hap- pened,"" Howe said Mon- day. “This is where I got to play -with the two kids.” Mark Howe, 3, is a standout defenceman for the Whalers.

Tonight, the elder Howe will be honored at. a $100-a- plate dinner, with proceeds from the event going to the Lung Association. Hockey's Phil Esposito, baseball's Brooks Robinson - and football's Frank Gifford will be among those paying - tribute to~Howe. When Howe retired from ” the Whalers in 1980 after three years with the team, it was the second time he had calied it quits. Howe retired for the first time in 1971 after 25 years with Detrolt Red Wings, and his No. 9 was retired in Detroit. He said his Red Wings’ number was different and special because “there was a’ little more history in Detroit."’ While a member of the Red Wings, Howe played in 1,687 games, had 766 goals and 1,809 points. He was an all-star 21 times and helped Detroit win three Stanley Cups. .

Henderson said a record of 7-4 should be enough to get into the playaffs and he's confident he and lead Andy Kerr, second Marc Brophy and third Steven Piper can achieve that mark. Alexander, joined by lead Clayton Ravyndal, second Scott Kylio and third Bradley Robertson, are hoping to finish the round-robin play with an B- 3 record. “There's maybe one or two weak teams here, but everybody is fairly even and [ can’t see any rink finishing better than 9-2 or $3,” Alexander said. The Territories’ victory Monday night over Alberta was particularly gratifying since it followed a 93 drubbing earlier Monday at the hands of Ontario, “T think we lost five or six rocks in that game because of broom hairs on the ice,” Alexander said. “But, who knows, that's the kind of break that we might get later on.” In other fourth-round games, Prince Edward Island downed New Brunswick 7-3, Alberta thrashed Northern Ontario $2, Manitoba downed B.C. 7-5 and Saskatchewan defeated Nova Scotia 7-5.
