Episode 40: Graeme Townshend, Part One

Thanks for tuning in everybody! Today I welcome Graeme Townshend to the Penalty Box. Graeme was the first Jamaican born player to ever play in the NHL. Graeme spent two seasons in the Islanders organization spending the majority of his time with the Capital District Islanders. He did play nine games with the big club scoring a goal and adding two assists. His amazing career included winning "Man of the Year" awards in two different leagues and after he retired as a player, Graeme became a successful coach. Graeme will be starting work on a book in the near future so please look for it when it becomes available. Here is part 1 of my chat with Graeme Townshend.
