The 28-years-old defender is a left wing and stands out for his undeniable technical qualities and leadership. Lowe is an excellent skater and classic "two-way" defender, reliable, energetic and leg-burning defensively-excellent especially in penalty killing-but also has strengths in playmaking and in the offense. A top level defender who wants to prove himself in his first experience in Europe.

"For me and my family, Bolzano is a great opportunity," Lowe explains, "I have received only positive feedback about the city, the team and the fans. It is my first adventure in Europe, however, I have played in a few youth tournaments there, but I am a player who is very adaptable. Additional incentive for me is the participation in the Champions Hockey League: I can not wait to start playing."
