Playing career
[edit]Cashman played junior hockey in theOHAwith theOshawa Generals;one of his teammates wasBobby Orr.He played parts of three seasons in the minor leagues for theOklahoma City Blazersand theHershey Bearsbefore making the Bruins' squad for good in1969.
Cashman played his entire NHL career with the Boston Bruins (1964–65,1967–83). His jersey number was 12.[2]He was a hard-grinding left winger on the era's most formidable forward line with centrePhil Espositoand right wingKen Hodge.[3]His role was to get into the corners and battle for loose pucks, and feed them to Esposito or Hodge. He was also a tenacious forechecker and served as an enforcer to protect Esposito and Orr.[4]Esposito has regarded Cashman as underrated and not receiving sufficient credit, saying "Wayne was the digger. He was the heart and soul of our line. Without a doubt."[5]
Cashman scored his first NHL goal on November 6, 1968 in Boston's 7-1 home victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.
Cashman was a member ofStanley Cup-winning teams, in1970and1972,and scored twice in the deciding game of the latter finals against theNew York Rangers,won by Boston, 3-0. He scored at least 20 goals in a season eight times in his career, doing so in four straight seasons when he also incurred 100 or more penalty minutes. His best season was in1974,when he finished fourth in the league in points, played in theAll-Star Game,and was named to the NHL Second All-Star team.
In 1972 he played for Team Canada in the first four games of theSummit Series.Before the final four games, at an exhibition game inSweden,Ulf Sterner's stick got lodged in Cashman's mouth, cutting his tongue open. The injury required 50 stitches and kept him out of the rest of the Summit Series.[6][7]
He served as thecaptainof the Bruins from1977to1983.When he retired after the Bruins were eliminated from the playoffs in 1983, he was the last active player from the NHL'sOriginal Sixera, just beating outSerge Savard,whose team was eliminated in an earlier playoff round.
After his retirement as a player, Cashman served in several coaching positions, including five seasons as an assistant coach for the New York Rangers and four for theTampa Bay Lightningas an assistant coach. He was appointed head coach of thePhiladelphia Flyersfor the 1997-98 season and held that post for 61 games until he was replaced byRoger Neilson;he served thereafter as the team's assistant coach.[8][9][10][11]He was also on the coaching staff of Team Canada in the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, Japan, as an assistant toMarc Crawford.[12][13]He was an assistant coach with the Bruins from 2001 until 2006.
