Playing career[]
Rowney played junior hockey with the Grande Prairie Storm of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL).[1]
Having not been selected in any NHL Entry Draft, Rowney attended the University of North Dakota, where he majored in managerial finance.[2] He played collegiate hockey for North Dakota's ice hockey team in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) from 2009 to 2013.[3] In 2010–11 and 2011–12, Rowney was named to the All-WCHA Academic Team.[4][5] On September 18, 2012, North Dakota suspended Rowney (along with teammates Andrew MacWilliam, Corban Knight and Danny Kristo) for the opening game of the 2012–13 season because of a violation of team rules that occurred during a team party.[6][7][8]
On April 9, 2013, Rowney signed an amateur tryout agreement with the Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League (AHL).[9] On October 3, 2013, Rowney signed an AHL contract with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.[10] He re-signed with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on July 24, 2014, on another one-year AHL contract.[11]
On March 9, 2016, after three seasons playing with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL, Rowney signed his first NHL contract, a two-year, two-way contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins worth an average annual value of $612,500.[12] He was named the AHL Player of the Month for March 2016, recording 17 points in 12 games for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.[13]
Rowney made his NHL debut on January 31, 2017, in Pittsburgh's game against the Nashville Predators.[14] On February 4, Rowney recorded his first NHL point, assisting on a Kris Letang goal against the St. Louis Blues.[2] On March 17, 2017, Rowney scored his first NHL goal, against New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid in a 6–4 Penguins win.[15] On June 11, 2017, after a 2–0 shutout victory over Nashville, Rowney won his first Stanley Cup with the Penguins.[16]
In the 2017–18 season, Rowney was injured on October 21, 2017, suffering a broken hand after blocking a shot against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He returned to the line-up on November 24 after missing 14 games.[17][18][19] He was injured again on January 2, suffering an upper-body injury during a game against the Philadelphia Flyers.[20] He returned to game action on February 2, missing 11 games.[21]
Following five seasons with the Penguins organization, on July 2, 2018, Rowney left as a free agent to sign a three-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks.[22]
Personal life[]
In August 2016, Rowney married Danielle Luetzen, a former North Dakota volleyball player.[23][24] Their first child, Anders, was born on May 14, 2017.[25]
