**Andrew Charles "Andy" Bowman** is a forward for the Ottawa Senators. He plays on a line with his boyfriend Derek Carruthers and Dan Riley. He is one of the main characters of *Giving In To The Influence*.

## Personal life

He was born in Prince Albert, and he's a small town boy raised by small town parents and an only child. However, he's the son of his father's second marriage and they do not keep in touch with his first family. His father was a hockey player who played for the Habs for a few years.

His parents were not too happy when he came out as gay.

He is dating his line mate and best friend Derek Carruthers, and they own a cat called Bobsled. They came out publicly to the media with Derek making a careless comment, unintentionally. They eventually get married and they moved to Ottawa after retirement.

## Playing career

He was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in 2012. He played there, mostly in the fourth line, until he was traded to Winnipeg during the 2022/2023 season. He played there for three more seasons, before going somewhere else and playing some time in the AHL. He retired after the 2030/2031 season.

## Physical appearance and personality

He's ginger and he looks like an awkward ginger giraffe. His eyes are blue. He is freckled down to his chest, at least. He does not grow a beard unless it's for playoffs. His style could be described as classic preppy.

Looks like a cinnamon roll and is actually a cinnamon roll. In the thicc scale, he is **Medium!**.

He's an ISFJ and in the Global 5-SLOAN Multidimensional Typing System, he would be a RLOAN. His love language is Quality Time.
