SIGNING: Clan arrow in on Bow

The Glasgow Clan are delighted to announce the signing of Canadian netminder Landon Bow for the 2024/25 season.

The six-foot-five left hander from St Albert, Alberta heads for the UK after three seasons in Czechia with Rytiri Kladno, and important experience in the NHL and AHL.

And he’s looking forward to his move to Scotland, revealing he was sold on the club by what head coach Corey Neilson had to say.

“I’m excited to join Glasgow, and after speaking with Corey, I really believe in his vision for the team,” Bow said.

“He’s had a lot of success in his career, and we both want to win, which is something I really believe we can do in the new season.

“The league has improved over the years and that played a part in my decision to come to Glasgow, plus talking with guys I know who have played there, they’ve been positive about their experience.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to have travelled through the UK in the past so I’m delighted to be heading to Scotland, and I’m excited for the new season to start.”

Bow played 160 games in the WHL with Swift Current Broncos and Seattle Thunderbirds before being picked up by Texas Stars in the AHL in 2016.

The 28-year-old played for a season with ECHL affiliate Idaho Steelheads before forging regular starts for Texas in the AHL, where 140 appearances yielded 64 wins.

Bow made the massive step up to play for the Dallas Stars in the NHL on two occasions in the 2018-19 season, recording a .947 save % , before returning to the AHL for two more campaigns.

From there, he moved to Czechia and Kladno in 2021, going on to play 120 times over three years until his move to the Elite League.

Clan head coach Corey Neilson welcomes his new netminder to the team and Bow’s mindset is the kind of thing he’s looking for in his roster.

“Landon comes to us with a wealth of experience from North America and Czechia,” he said.

“He’s a highly touted, huge goalie, which I love in my defensive system and a great person.

“He enjoyed his team-mates in Czechia, but the situation really frustrated him in terms of their aspirations to win.

“Now he wants to be part of building a winner and having fun while getting better every day. These are the types of people we’re trying to find.”

Bow will wear the #29 jersey in the new season.
