What kind of man shoots a frozen puck at 90mph at a woman?No man.
Reminds me of the "Ice the Fire" charity game that she played in (with Cammi Granato, Michael Ontkean, Jerry "Killer" Houser and another female goalie I can't remember. Erin?). I was so mad that Manon was a Duck! (as was Charlie Simmer with Dave Taylor playing against him!) I think Kelly Hrudey left his crease and scored on her, thus earning himself a pummeling by the Hanson Brothers. My memory of that is too hazy to know whether any of that actually happened the way I remember it, but I know there was a lot of fun and silliness that night.
Thank you this was awesome!!!
Joke gimmick.
How come there's never been a movie about her.
Silly gimmick
Great piece! She will be remembered as a true trailblazer and rightly so. I'm so happy that women are finally able to able to experience this amazing game for themselves and its thanks (in part) to people like Manon. I ref in a women's league, and I see the smiles on everyone's face after each game. For many of them, playing hockey is nothing short of life changing.
After all the years you would think you would speak proper English without that gay French accent😂😂
I was a FL resident when the Lightning started and later played against Manon, who played forward in men's league, in So Cal, in early 2000's. Great video!
Qmjhl is NOT 1 step bellow the nhl…..only a very few ever make the step directly to the nhl from major jr. For most, there are 2 or 3 stops before going to the show.
Abso;ute legend who inspired so many girls and women and really pushed the sport of hockey forward – proving what can be done!!
She led the way for women’s hockey. For that she deserves a place in the NHL Hall of Fame.
Phil and the Tampa organization did this purely for publicity. There is no way she deserved a spot more than the thousands competing with her but sometimes you need a ploy to make it to the next level.
wow! i like your story
This is awesome
Loved Manon! Got an Atlanta Knights jersey I can't wait to give my daughter when shes older.
I remember Manon so vividly because it was 94 and my first child my daughter Niki was born that year and to me it was just awesome !!! … but it wasn’t just that … from the day I could skate I was on a rink here in Cambridge , Ont. that the city made every year and we always had the neighborhood girls playing with us … there was no difference and never was in our life … so happy for all the women playing the sport !!!! … and for all the “ trolls” I’ve seen ALOT OF GIRLS AND WOMEN BETTER THAN GUYS SO SUCK ON THAT !!!!!!
I took that day off work to see her first game…as a man, I always knew that the NHL should tap into womens hockey its a a beautiful game to see both men and women winning, losing and sharing in the sport i love…i am old now…but listening to her made me feel young…Thanks Manon for all you do for hockey and all the work you do off the ice. Thanks for the memories…we Canadians are so proud of you.
SO HUMBLE BEAUTIFUL GROUNDED !!!
It was a stunt pulled by who else, Phil Esposito to sell tickets to a Tampa team starting their first year in the NHL
All time peach! Great goalie and great person
Man, the more Esposito talks about this the more it just seems like it was for publicity. “Click click click”
Had her hockey 🥅 card my whole collection was vandalized unfortunately 💔😢
I played goalie as a kid on the ponds, creeks and rinks and into adulthood and loved to play that position. Goalies are my heroes and Manon is right up there with my goalie heros! Thank you Manon for being you and being a great role model!
I had a crush on Manon, and enjoyed seeing her success…Blake Bolden is the coolest name…
She’s been phenomenal for the sport great video 😢
woman can do anything men can do…just shouldn't do it together.
not in the army and not in sports.
esposito even said it himself "…(first year in tampa bay, innaugural season)…my brain started clicking…cbs was there, abc was therre…" loll…the perfect publicity stunt at the perfect time. and esposito saw the dollar bills clicking in his mind. for himself…then the team, then the nhl, and then, Rheahume.
the only reason she was there in tampa was for the publivity and $ generated from it.
that's it.
talent wise, there are a few dozen male goalies worldwide with the same talent level as her, if not more.
the only reason she was there is cuz she was a massive $ making publicity stunt for tampa and the NHL.
FYI, in spite of what the narrator said about women playing hockey being a rare thing .. there have been women's hockey teams in Canada going back more than 120 years. Also, the Q is a minor league and not just under the NHL.
