Has a woman ever played in the NHL?

Trailblazer and goalie Manon Rheaume was the first woman to play in an NHL game for the Tampa Bay Lightning.  I've often wondered if this was a publicity stunt by the brand new expansion team, and did not like that she never started a regular season game.

Regardless, she is a pioneer for womens rights in sports and widely respected as such.  She was also a very talented net minder whom, I've always respected.  She is currently also a great commentator in the sport.  Read her story below.
