Profile Contributed By: Glen Erickson
History
2006-07: Rowat assumed the starting role in Regina following an early-season trade that saw veteran goaltender David Reekie moved to the Everett Silvertips. In 52 regular season games, Rowat posted 25 wins and four shutouts. His 3.36 goals against average is more indicative of the club's play in front of him. The 6'2, 175-pound native of Cochrane, Alberta survived an early-season tweak to his MCL. He was able to spend a week with Hockey Canada goaltending consultant Corey Hirsch this past season through the relationship of Pat's head coach Curtis Hunt, an assistant coach with the national junior team. The focus in sessions with Hirsch was Rowat's mental preparation and puckhandling skills.

Plays a butterfly style in net. He also has excellent puck-handling skills and stays square to the shooter.
Future
The WHL has historically been a deep league in goaltending talent and the Kings hope to develop this goaltender out of Regina. With a number of goaltender projects already in the system, the Kings can wait on his development.
