44 THE GOMAWA TIMES, Weenessey, meren 29, 1700 Hull May Quit In Three Seasons, - More Concerned With Sons By HAL BOCK CHICAGO (AP)--Bobby Hull, the first player in history to reach hockey's 50-goal plateau twice, is a modest, muscular man who is more concerned with his three sons than his record-breaking. scoring hero- ics. The three youngsters, Bobby Jr., 5, Blake, 4, and Brett, 1, are the reason that hockey's) greatest drawing card is con- templating retirement from the game in three years. "I'll be 30 then with 12 sea- sons behind me in the NHL," says Hull. "I think I'll be ready to quit then. I don't want my boys growing up in the city. I'll move out to the farm where they can get the fresh air youngsters need." Hull speaks from first hand experience. He grew up in Point Anne, Ont., a farming commu- nity of about 500, and credits' his rural upbringing with help-| ing develop his muscled frame. 1 started going out into the woods near Point Anne with pS Rae So Sea my grandiawies, chopped down tees with an axe and that helped develop my arm and back muscles. | also walked to and from school four miles a day and during the win- ter I shovelled snow from morn- ing till night." The work paid off as Hull de- veloped into a rock-hard five- foot-10,, 193 pounds. "He's got muscles on his muscles," one fan marvelled after watching Hull perform. WAS 18 AND FAST He came into the National League with Chicago in 1957 at the age of 18. 'When I first went to the training camp, I didn't think I had a chance in the world of making the team. 1 was all speed and not much else." Hull scored 13 goals that first season and 18 the next year. It was in 1960, at the age of 20, class with a league leading 39 goals, 42 assists and 81 points for the NUT searing champion- ship. In the six seasons since, Hull has averaged 40 goals a year. He tied the record of 50 goals in a season in 1961-62 and has never had less than 31 goals in a season after those first two years, His blistering wrist shot takes off at what seems a mere flick. His overpowering slap shot has been clocked at over 100 miles an hour, His coach, Billy Reay, calls him '"'the greatest hockey player I've ever seen." Reay speaks in superlatives when he talks about Hull. "In my time, I played against Maurice Richard and Gordie Howe, and I say Hull is better than either of them, He can skate faster and better than | either one and he shoots harder.

Jacques Plante, who retired this season, says: 'His shot is like a piece of lead. You have to see it coming toward you to believe it. He has the hardest shot I ever saw." Toronto's Johnny Bower mar- vels at his quickness. 'The puck comes at you with such terrific speed, it's all over in a split second."' This, of course, has, been Hull's greatest season. He passed the cherished 30¢-gc2 plateau and stands seventh on the all-time list.

Now a representative for a distillery in Montreal, Storey also does some radio work and writes a sports colemn in Le Petit Journal. He played hockey and la- crosse as a youth and officiated in the Eastern Football Confer- ence when it was still the Big Four. "Today's young athletes are as good as we ever were," he Says. "They're bigger, stronger and faster and they get better coaching. But they're not as tough--at least not as a rule."
