In 1992, goalie and Olympic silver medalist Manon Rheaume played for the Tampa Bay Lightning in an exhibition game against the St. Louis Blues, becoming the first female NHL player. Rheaume, the first female NHL player, continued to play hockey until 2009, as goalie for the Minnesota Whitecaps of the National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL).

She played one period of an exhibition for Tampa Bay against St. Louis on Sept. 23, 1992, becoming the first — and still only — woman to suit up for an NHL game. “I never even thought I would even play in the NHL. It wasn’t even a dream of mine,” said Rheaume, who played one period of an exhibition against Boston a year later and spent several seasons playing in men’s minor leagues. Thirty years later, she has made it to the NHL.

Manon Rheaume is the one female to have actually ever been on the ice for a team, although her appearance was in a preseason game. She played for the Tampa Bay Lightning in 1992 as their goaltender against the St. Louis Blues and remains the only woman to have been able to lace up her skates and appear in the competition.
