The New York Islanders named Ryan Bowness assistant general manager and director of player personnel on Monday.

The Islanders missed the playoffs in 2024-25 after posting a 35-35-12 record (82 points). New York, however, landed the top overall pick of the upcoming 2025 NHL draft earlier this month, despite having the 10th-best chance of winning the lottery at 3.5 percent.
Bowness is the son of former Islanders head coach Rick Bowness (1996-98).
