Position: Defense
Age: 20 (turns 21 in April)
Height/Weight: 6’2”, 209 pounds
Shoots: Right
Madison Bowey was drafted by the Washington Capitals in the second round of the 2013 NHL Draft.
"Talent Analysis Bowey is a big-bodied rearguard who is an excellent skater. He does not shy away from physical play and rushes the puck with confidence. Bowey has played in many high pressure situations while skating for Canada in the U18 and U20 World Championships. Future Bowey made a push for a spot with the Capitals in training camp before being returned to Kelowna for the 2014-15 season. Now in his fourth WHL season, he is once again one of the league’s top defenseman and played an integral role for Canada during it’s gold medal-winning run at the 2015 World Junior Championship. Long-term Bowey has the makings of a solid two-way defenseman at the NHL level and is expected to bring a much-anticipated physical presence to the blue line in Washington. – Hockey’s Future"
Bowey has the potential to be a top pairing or second pairing defenseman for the Washington Capitals. Despite the Washington Capitals having John Carlson and Matt Niskanen, Bowey could at worst play the Mike Green role for the Washington Capitals. Bowey would flourish with his offensive abilities.
