Along with being a highly athletic kid, Madison Bowey is turning out to be a high prospect in the upcoming WHL Bantam Draft. Mainly because the 14-year-old defenseman has got game, and lots of it. This season, while leading the Winnipeg Monarchs to the top of the WMHA AAA Bantam league standings with a 26-4 record, the young defenseman finished 3rd in the league, scoring with 57 points in 29 games. Scouts have described the young star as being an excellant skater, with incredible raw skills, acute hockey sense, a hard and crisp short-range pass, and having a powerful, accurate wrist shot. Many have compared the top ranked Manitoba 14-year-old to the New York Rangers, Michael Del Zotto. He is ranked to go No.2 this season in the Bantam Draft, behind the uber-talented Alex Forsberg. If that is indeed the case, their is a good chance the Edmonton Oil Kings could land the phenominal defenseman, and he would join another great young blueliner with the likes of Vancouver native Griffin Reinhart. There could be a lot to be excited about, for fans of the Oil Kings in the upcoming years, with these two outstanding rearguards in their lineup.
