Manon Rheaume I absolutely had no idea about this particular sports feature (big shock since I don’t follow sports!).  Manon Rheaume became the first woman to play in the NHL.  Here’s what happened.  She is a Canadian goalie that had a dream.  She played in the minor leagues in various places, but Tampa Bay Lightning signed her as a free agent.  She played on this date, and she allowed two goals.  She only played in one other game, but she continued to play in the minor leagues and international leagues.
