SHERBROOKE, Que. – The Cape Breton
Screaming Eagles decided to take the risk and draft Shane Bowers with the
fourth overall pick at Saturday's QMJHL Entry Draft.
Bowers went on stage and put on a
Screaming Eagles jersey. It might be the only time he wears one.
From The Hockey News’ Ryan Kennedy:
QMJHL draft: Don't be
surprised if Shane Bowers doesn't report to Cape Breton. USHL Waterloo
an option for him too.

It was reported before the draft that
Bowers, a Halifax native, wanted to be selected by either Saint John or
Halifax. It was also reported that the Sea Dogs were trying to move up in the
draft, likely so they could take Bowers.
The Screaming Eagles used their timeout
before taking the stage but still chose to draft the Halifax Macs forward.
Cape Breton did something similar last year, taking Michael O’Leary 14th overall. O’Leary never reported and the Screaming Eagles were compensated with the 19th overall pick in this year’s draft.

UPDATE:
Shane Bowers happy to go to CB: "I don't see any problems. ... We're just going to talk it over and figure everything out with the team."
