Scouting Reports:
“Versatile center with a natural scorers touch, Bowers is truly a jack of all trades but a master of none, which is not a slight but rather a compliment. Owns good speed, awareness in all zones, and a well-rounded offensive toolbox. Has the hands to score in tight but can finish from the outside as well.” – Brandon Holmes, Riding Pine Hockey
“A solid 200-foot player who works hard…adequate top-end speed that will only improve as he gets stronger…balanced on his skates and when he explodes, he can create breaches in the other team’s defense…shows good initial burst…plays with a lot of gumption and makes life hard for opponents…willing to play in the dirty areas of the ice…a nice ability to read the play…does a good job of using his body to protect the puck…hands are not overly flashy, but he does a good job of using his body to protect the puck…dangerous as he takes a quick step out from the wall to the front of the net or comes from behind the net to get off a quick shot…intelligent decision-maker who moves the puck well and makes the right choices…defensively, he plays with some grit, making life tough on his opponent…patiently lets the play come to him…just a real versatile difference-maker at both ends of the rink. (November 2016)” – Future Considerations
