Tec-Tac has been a life long dream of President and Founder Bill Bowker.
He lived in Carleton Place for 33
years; he was the first Carleton Place Arena manager.
Bill has been involved in Minor hockey in our community for
many years. He helped spearhead the construction of the second
ice surface in Carleton Place to House Tec-Tac and raise the
level of play in his community. Bill served on the Building
Committee during the construction of the complex.
Tec-Tac International Hockey school was
born and built with family values by a hockey family. Bill
has been married to his wife Myrna for 50 years, and their values
and the game of hockey helped mold the lives of their
three outstanding children, Derek, Cassidy and Courtney.
Bill’s education, his athletics and playing experiences have
helped make him one of Canada’s top coaches. He was born in
Sherbrooke, Quebec, and played most of his Junior hockey in
the Quebec with the Town of Mount Royal Eagles, the Lachine
Maroons and the Verdun Maple leafs, and with Guelph in Ontario. He
attended two Montreal Junior Canadiens training camps and
New York Rangers Camp and the Port Huron Flags camp. Bill
finished his Career with the Hardy Cup winning Embrun Panthers.

Championships in 1964 and represented Canada at the World
Championships in Watkins Glen New York. He played Baseball
in the Quebec Major Junior League, winning the league batting

love for hockey stopped a promising baseball career, but his

batting practice for the Montreal Expo’s.
