Before it was lacrosse and hockey sticks, it was a fishing rod, a hunting rifle and the great outdoors. At least, that was what childhood for first-year attack Andrew Bowman was like.
“Since the age of three or four, my dad had given my brother, Colby and I lacrosse and hockey sticks to play with, but even hunting and fishing was introduced to me before that,” Andrew said. “Those two things sometimes play a bigger role in my life than lacrosse.”
Growing up in Nanaimo, British Columbia, the Bowman brothers were raised on all things outdoors, which included the sport of hockey.
