Bowman spent the 2023-24 season with the OHL's Guelph Storm
The Henderson Silver Knights have signed forward Braeden Bowman to a one-year deal, the team announced Tuesday.
Hailing from Kitchener, Ont., Bowman spent this past season playing for the Guelph Storm, collecting 37 goals and 34 assists for 71 points in 68 regular season games. Bowman also suited up in two playoff games for Guelph where he had an assist.
Over parts of four OHL seasons with the Storm, Bowman had 97 goals and 83 assists for 180 points in 184 regular season games.
As Bowman joins the Silver Knights for his first pro season, he will be one to watch as a potential scoring option. Having been a reliable goal scorer throughout his time in the OHL, Bowman does not need a lot of time or space to get a quick shot off on net.
While it is quite common to see young players on AHL deals play in the ECHL over their first few pro seasons, Bowman may have what it takes to stick in the AHL off the jump.
