Shannon Szabados and Ben Scrivens first players on the ice at
practice.
— John MacKinnon (@rjmackinnon)

I know that there was a push to get Szabados to be the backup yesterday by trending it on twitter... But she's actually at practice this morning?! Is this actually happening or is it some goofy PR thing? Man, I really hope it is... How absolutely awesome!

 

I don't know if it even CAN happen- can some NHL rules guru tell me if it says anywhere that it's exclusively men? I know it's assumed, but is there an actual rule barring women from competing in the NHL? Sorry, clueless, I just think it's neat.

Manon Rheaume once played an exhibition game with the Lightning.

I have her hockey card laying around somewhere, ya know back when card collecting was a thing

 

According to someone at WGR, "The Hobby" is worth a couple hours of radio on Saturday mornings. :)

 

I know they're just waiting for Fasth and are going with some local university dude as backup until then. But it's still neat to see her out there. A girl can dream.

 

Back when the Rehaume thing was current, I remember a friend of mine gushing over it. She was a rock-star Field Hockey goalie and played on some Buffalo club ice hockey teams, but I don't know if she got very far with it.

 

Guess not, she's in the Air Force now. But this is pretty cool from her pictures:
