In this episode of WOMEN ARE PLAYERS TOO, host Eva Hartling shares a special conversation originally recorded for THE BRAND IS FEMALE podcast with hockey trailblazer Manon Rhéaume—the first and only woman to play in an NHL game, who now works for the LA Kings.

From breaking barriers with the Tampa Bay Lightning to taking part in the Olympics and mentoring the next generation of players, Manon has spent her entire career rewriting the rules of the game. She opens up about the pressure of being "the first," the state of women's hockey today, and what gives her hope as she watches the PWHL take shape.

Manon also reflects on her work with young athletes, the importance of visibility, and the power of creating space—not just for women to play, but to lead.

This is a must-listen for anyone who believes in the future of women's sports.
