Career as a professional player

Drayson Bowman was invited by the Carolina Hurricanes during the National Hockey League play-offs in April 2009 to travel and train with the NHL team during the play-offs. However, the player remained without a use for the team. The American began the 2009/10 season with Carolina's farm team Albany River Rats in the American Hockey League . During this season, the attacker also played his first games in the NHL; Overall, Bowman came in 2009/10 on nine missions in the National Hockey League. He scored his first NHL goal on April 6, 2010 in a game of the Hurricanes against the Tampa Bay Lightning . Bowman spent most of the 2010-11 season in the AHL, this time with the Hurricanes' new farm team, the Charlotte Checkers . Overall, Bowman came to 51 AHL appearances. In addition, he played 23 games for Carolina in the NHL, while he scored one assist .

After the 2013/14 season, which he spent exclusively in the NHL for the first time, his contract in Carolina was not renewed. As a result, he was looking for a new employer as a free agent , until the Canadiens de Montréal provided him with a professional tryout contract until the start of the season in September 2014 . In October he then signed a one-year contract, but was sent to the Hamilton Bulldogs in the AHL after five NHL games . After the end of the season, he received no further contract in Montréal.

In October 2015 he joined the Colorado Eagles from the ECHL , where he played with his brother Collin for the first time in his career . In Colorado, however, he only played three games before returning to the Checkers in the AHL. On December 21, 2015, the Düsseldorfer EG from the German Ice Hockey League announced the commitment of Bowman.

After the end of the 2016/17 season, Bowman, like five other players, did not receive a new contract with Düsseldorfer EG. Then he returned, again with his brother, back to the Colorado Eagles, with whom he then won the ECHL playoffs for the Kelly Cup .
