Trailblazing goalie Manon Rheaume hired to become first GM of PWHL's Detroit expansion team

Manon Rheaume is carrying over her trailblazing women’s hockey career into a front office role in being hired as the general manager of the PWHL’s expansion team in Detroit. The Canadian Olympian goaltender was the first woman to appear in an exhibition game of any of North America’s four major sports. She has spent the past four years working in the NHL's Los Angeles Kings hockey operations department. In a separate announcement, the PWHL also hired women’s player agent, Dominique DiDia, as GM of the league’s expansion franchise in Las Vegas. The PWHL added Detroit as an expansion team last week, and has since grown to 11 with Las Vegas and Hamilton, Ontario, with one more franchise to come.
