Manon Rhéaume is named the first general manager of the PWHL Detroit expansion team, with the franchise set to begin play next season. Multiple outlets describe Rhéaume as a trailblazer in women’s hockey and note that she is the only woman known to have played in the NHL. CBC reports that in 1992 she became the first female goaltender to appear in an NHL pre-season game. Her professional hockey experience also includes a recent four-year role in hockey operations with the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings. According to the Ottawa Citizen, she also spent 11 years as the girls’ division director with the Little Caesars AAA Hockey Club in the Detroit area. While some reports focus on her historic playing credentials, others highlight her move into front-office leadership and her work within organizational hockey operations. Together, the coverage presents Rhéaume as both a pioneering figure on the ice and a newly appointed executive tasked with helping build and guide Detroit’s PWHL team ahead of its debut.
