Spokane Chiefs News Release
Former Spokane Chief forward Drayson Bowman has been recalled by the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League. Bowman has scored eight goals and 15 points in 26 games with their American Hockey League affiliate in Albany, New York in his first season as a professional.
This marks the first NHL recall for the 20-year-old Bowman. Prior to turning professional, Bowman (6'1", 190lbs.) played four full seasons with Spokane of the Western Hockey League, scoring 130 goals and earning 112 assists in 265 regular-season games with the Chiefs.
He was the leading goal scorer on Spokane's 2008 Memorial Cup-winning team, and was named to the Memorial Cup All-Star team. The Hurricanes drafted Bowman in the third round, 72nd overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
This marks the second former Chief in as many days to be recalled as he joins former teammate Dustin Tokarski in the NHL. TOkarski was called up by the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday. Tampa Bay will play at Carolina on Monday.
