Cashman Happy to be Back at Quinnipiac

The following artcile appeared in The Quinnipiac Chronicle on October 19, 2011 written by by Tim O'Donnell.

After five years of playing professional hockey, Reid Cashman is back at Quinnipiac. On Aug. 19, Quinnipiac’s athletic department announced that Cashman was hired as the new assistant coach, replacing Ben Syer, who left to become an assitant coach at Cornell.

“It’s exciting. It’s feeling like a second home,” Cashman said. “This is where I graduated, I met my fiancee here, so she’s excited to be back. It really has a feeling of coming back home.”

While Cashman, 28, may have been gone for five years, his success at Quinnipiac still resonates. There is a framed Cashman jersey hanging in head coach Rand Pecknold’s office. Another one hangs in the Bobcats’ locker room. His name also hangs above the ice on the new 100 career points banner at TD Bank Sports Center.
