In this episode, Fred Pletsch and I catch up and chat with longtime pro hockey goalie, Jason Bacashihua of Dearborn Heights, MI. Cash, as he's known in the hockey world, was a 1st round pick of the Dallas Stars, (26th overall), in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. In his teen years, Cash played for the Chicago Freeze in the NAHL, Fred was the commissioner of the NAHL then, so they had some great conversation about that part of Cash's hockey journey. After 2 seasons in Chicago, Cash then played for 1 season in the OHL with the Plymouth Whalers before he was drafted in the 1st round. In 2001, the year he was drafted, he embarked on his pro career, we discuss that, his 1st NHL call up, some of the players and teams he played with and on, his journey through pro hockey, including his stints with the Lake Erie Monsters of the AHL, a place Cash and I met, I was the team broadcaster there. We also chat with Cash about his journey, that started in 2012, in Europe as a pro, plus, where he was when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out and what it was like for him to get back to the U.S. during that time, and so much more in this episode!!
