NORFOLK, Va. - The Norfolk Admirals announced they have signed forward Brian Bowen to a contract for the 2023-24 season.

The 27-year-old returns to the Admirals after posting 14 goals in 25 games with Norfolk last season.

Bowen began last season with the Orlando Solar Bears where he played in just one game. He joined Fayetteville of the Southern Professional Hockey League on October 30, posting 43 points (17g-26a) in 36 games, after his ECHL playing rights were traded to Norfolk. He reported to the Admirals on Feb. 13 and scored in his Norfolk debut just two days later. On March 10, Bowen scored three goals against the Maine Mariners, which was the lone hat trick of the season for the Admirals.

His professional career began in 2017-18 when he joined the Worcester Railers after three years at the University of Vermont.
