Manon Rheaume’s Hockey Legacy Still Resonates

Manon Rheaume’s name still carries weight because she was doing things nobody in hockey had ever seen a woman do at the time. Her path from goaltender to Olympic silver medalist to trailblazer has made her one of the sport’s most recognizable figures, long before today’s game started giving more people a path to the top. That kind of profile does not fade quietly, especially in a sport that loves to celebrate its firsts once the door has already been kicked open.
