5yo Manon loved playing goalie for her older brothers as they practiced hockey in their backyard. When her dad’s peewee team needed a goalie, Manon stepped in and proved she could do it. Her hockey skills and her tenacity led her to become the first, and so far the only, women to ever play a game on a men’s major sports league in North America.
An inspiring story and a necessary addition to any library collection. Great for Women’s studies or those rare occasions when you can get a PE teacher to read to their classes.
