Bowman later appeared in an interview on Hockey Night in Canada on January 12, 2008 confirming that he was very close to taking the job only to be turned away by Richard Peddie, CEO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. (MLSE). In July 2008, he took a position as Senior Advisor of Hockey Operations for the Chicago Blackhawks to work along side his son Stan Bowman, who is the General Manager. The Blackhawks' Stanley Cup victory in 2010 gave Bowman his 12th Stanley Cup including coaching and team management.
In 2012, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada "for his contributions to hockey as a coach and mentor".
