Marion Rheaume grew up in Canada.
Hockey is very popular in Canada but in 1977, only boys
played hockey. Manon could only sit in the stands and
watch her brother play. When she was 5 years old, the
team her father coached needed a goalie for one game.
Manon begged to be allowed to play. She was hooked. As
she grew older, she was more determined to continue to
play. She even got a tryout for a professional team.
Learn about this remarkable person and how she changed a
sport forever.
