Stan Bowman readily acknowledges he talks almost daily to his father, bouncing ideas off him, seeing what he thinks. But father calls on son for ideas a lot, too, and why not?
Also some stuff about Stan Bowman playing some hockey as a kid:

Stan said he was “very into hockey” as a kid – playing it, being around it, learning about it. “The only thing I can remember is he seemed to be very intelligent,” said Ottawa Senators scout Nick Polano, whose son Michael played youth hockey with Stan while he served one season as an assistant under Scotty with the Buffalo Sabres.
“You have to remember, if you live in the Bowman household, it’s hockey, hockey, hockey. And when you think that there’s no more hockey, then there’s more hockey. He had a pretty good teacher, I can tell you that.”
