Playing career

Howes began the 2008-2009 season on a two-way contract with the Victoria Salmon Kings and the Manitoba Moose, recording 22 points in 39 games. The next season he posted 26 points over 47 games. After a short stint with the Stockton Thunder, he joined the Alaska Aces in 2010 and tallied 58 points in 59 games. His contract with the Aces was extended, and he started the 2011–12 ECHL season there before being called up to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League on November 19, 2011.

On August 12, 2013, Howes signed his first European contract, a one-year deal with HDD Olimpija Ljubljana of the Austrian Hockey League. After only four games with Olimpija, he secured a release and returned to North America, signing with the Brampton Beast of the Central Hockey League on December 16, 2013. He scored 45 points in 36 games for the Beast. After that season, he came back to the Brampton Beast for the 2015–16 ECHL season.

He was traded to the Missouri Mavericks for future considerations before the trade deadline, playing nine regular-season and three playoff games. The Mavericks lost to the Allen Americans in the Western Conference semifinals, and Howes retired after the season.
