There was a woman in the NHL!

Manon Rhéaume played for the Tampa Bay Lightning in exhibition games: one against the St. Louis Blues during the 1992 preseason, and another against the Boston Bruins in the 1993 preseason. Though she only played for two games, this makes her the first and only woman ever to play for the NHL. For most of her career, this goaltender has played in the minor leagues, though she has also won silver medals for the Canadian Olympic women’s hockey team.
