This is very much late because Towbaker is currently playing in the M for his second season.

 

Austin Towbaker was born in Los Angeles, USA with a heart of gold and a passion for hockey. At the age of 10 he started to play hockey at his local ice rink, always learning and growing every single day. He then met a guy called Josh Da Silva who taught him how to take good shots on the net and how to score. He went to take his talents to Sweden at the age of 16 to play for Frölunda of the Swedish Hockey League, was never really a point producer there. Nobody wanted him in there until he scored a game changing goal in a game versus Timra IK which gave them a chance to play in the finals. After a loss, a guy with a deep voice called Towbaker and said "Hello? Is this Towbaker? If so, I would like to sign you for our team. Our team isn't that good right now and we really need an offensive push. You think you can help us?". That sort of sounds like the... Oh! The GM of the Ottawa Lynx! This was it, his time to shine- wait. He only scored one goal in one season with 5 assists, why does he need him? It doesn't matter. The VHL was always his favourite league to watch. He had gotten almost every single players' signature on separate papers. This was it, he would be making it into the VHL! After that call, he wished the Frölunda management good luck as he would go to Ottawa to play. He got on a plane where he was recognised once by a Frölunda fan, but that was it.

It was time to have a good time.

 

He met up in Ottawa with the GM of the Ottawa Lynx and the AGM too. They had an interview and then they offered him a contract. Without hesitation, he signed it, planning to put his entire heart and soul into the franchise. After a week he went to the Canadian Tire Arena where he would get his jersey and to step foot on official VHLM ice. It felt so good for him being able to make his dream to play for the Lynx, and the scrape of the ice was so satisfying when he took strides. He could see himself scoring tons of goals in this arena. Surprisingly, he put up 45 points and soon was a well known player in Ottawa.
