Former Quinnipiac University defenseman Reid Cashman is the new head men's ice hockey coach at Dartmouth College. Cashman, 37, who played at Quinnipiac from 2003 to 2007, succeeds Bob Gaudet, who mentored Dartmouth, his alma mater, for the last 23 years.
A native of Red Wing, Minn., Cashman spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach with the NHL's Washington Capitals, following a pair of campaigns with their AHL affiliate in Hershey, Pa. He was an assistant at Quinnipiac from 2011 to 2016, where he helped the Bobcats to the NCAA title game in his final season behind the bench there.
A junior hockey product of Waterloo (USHL), Cashman skated in 151 career collegiate games on the Bobcats blueline, notching 23 goals and 125 assists for 148 points to go with 246 penalty minutes. He recorded 32 or more assists in each of his final three campaigns, and was a two-time All-America and All-ECAC Hockey selection. He also helped Quinnipiac to three 20-win campaigns, plus the 2007 ECAC hockey championship game, and was named the 2004-05 Atlantic Hockey player of the year in Quinnipiac's final season in that conference.
After departing Quinnipiac as player, the undrafted Cashman played five seasons of professional hockey. He skated in the ECHL with Columbia, Wheeling and Cincinnati, and in the AHL with Toronto, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Milwaukee, before finishing his career in 2010-11 with Linz EHC (Austria) and then subsequently returning to his alma mater as an assistant.
