Cashman's Memories of 1972 Summit Series

Recently a number of NHL legends met in Kingston for the Syl Apps golf tournament. Wayne Cashman was there, and Patrick Kennedy of the Kingston Whig-Standard was there to record his memories of the 1972 Summit Series:

Cashman and Hull also played for Canada in the famous 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union.
