Lowe played 77 career NHL games, scoring six goals and eight assists for fourteen points. In his last professional season, he played for the Springfield Indians of the American Hockey League and managed to score 82 points in only 60 games, which earned him the Les Cunningham Award as league MVP. Ross signed with the New York Rangers but never made it to training camp as he drowned that off-season in Lake Haliburton while vacationing with his family.
