Jeff Cowan

Professional hockey player Jeff Cowan plays forward for the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League. Unlike the majority of NHL players, Cowan did not enter the League through the yearly NHL Entry Draft. After three years of junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League, Cowan signed on with the Calgary Flames as a free agent for the 1996-1997 season. He spent most of the next four years with the Flames' American Hockey League affiliate before making his NHL debut in thirteen games during the 1999-2000 season.

Cowan became a full-time NHL player in the 2000-2001 season, showing tenacity, determination and a strong work ethic that earned him 13 points and 74 penalty minutes in 51 games. Partway through the 2001-2002 season, the Flames traded Cowan to the Atlanta Thrashers, where he remained for three years and posted a career high of 24 points in 58 games during his final season with the Thrashers in 2003-2004.

Cowan played the better part of three seasons with the Los Angeles Kings before being acquired on waivers by the Vancouver Canucks in late 2006. A few months later, in March of 2006, a fan threw a bra onto the ice after Cowan had scored his second goal of the game. The incident resulted in Cowan earning a variety of new nicknames, including Cowan the Brabarian, Milkman, Bra Man and C-Cup from fellow players and fans alike.
