Manatees sign goaltender Mark Gowan

Miami Manatees Press Release

Gowan, 28, played 31 games last season with the Fresno Falcons. He compiled a record of 18 wins, 10 losses, and one tie, with a .900 save percentage and 3.08 GAA.

�Gowan is a great goalie who put up good numbers last year in Fresno. He is hybrid goaltender with a slightly unorthodox style, and he is able to take up a lot of the net. He also is a great guy to have in the locker room.� Captain/Assistant Coach Tom Perry said.

Gowan played for the Colorado Gold Kings in the 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 seasons, where he was a teammate of current Manatee players Tom Perry, Dmitri Doulebenets, Darcy Johnson, and Coach Zac Boyer. In 43 games with the Gold Kings, Gowan had a record of 20 wins, 13 losses, and four ties, with a 3.15 GAA and a .895 save percentage.

�We feel confident now with two solid goalies to give us a strong presence in the nets, and both will play their fair share of games for us this season.�

The Miami Manatees play in the Miami Arena as part of the six-team WHA2. The Miami Manatees will face off against the Alabama Slammers, Jacksonville Barracudas, Lakeland Loggerheads, Macon Trax, and Orlando Seals in the WHA2�s inaugural season.
