History
2006-07: In 61 games, Bowman scored 24 goals and 19 assists for a Chiefs team that made its first playoff appearance in three years. The 6', 185-pound forward is a native of Littleton, Colorado and has become a dependable and durable forward in Spokane. During his rookie season, he played in all 72 games, collecting 34 points. His offensive output is headed in the right direction.
2007-08: Carolina’s brass noted Bowman had NHL potential at the team’s camps before the 2007 season, with some saying Bowman’s shot was better than some of the NHLers in attendance. That was seemingly a sign of things to come. Bowman stormed out of the gate, putting himself among the WHL’s leaders in goals and scoring. While his pace slowed somewhat, he still finished the season with 42 goals and 40 assists in the regular season and another 20 points (11 goals and nine assists) in Spokane’s run to the Memorial Cup.
2008-09: Scored 47 regular season goals, five better than his output last season. His 83 points (in just 62 games) are a career high, as are the 107 penalty minutes he accumulated this season, second most on the Chiefs. Unlike last season, Team USA made him a part of the country’s World Junior Championship team. While the United States struggled in the tournament, Bowman held his own, scoring three goals and adding an assist in six games.
