Manon Rheaume retires as goaltender for Canadian women's national team

 
SANTA ANA, Calif. (CP) - Manon Rheaume has announced she's retiring as
goaltender for Canada after eight years with the women's national team. "I
always said that the day I lost the fire to play goalie was the day I would
retire from the Canadian national team," Rheaume said in a statement
released by Mission Hockey, an equipment manufacturer that employs the
native of Lac Beauport, Que. 

"Never did a day go by that I woke up dreading having to train, go to
practice or play in a game," said Rheaume, 28. "I feel I'm at a stage in my
life where it's time for a new challenge." 

But she will continue to play as a forward with the Montreal Wingstars of
the National Women's Hockey League. 

"I'm not ready to totally walk away from the game and that's why I'm playing
in the NWHL as a forward," Rheaume said. 

Rheaume will be the head of global marketing for women's hockey at Mission
Hockey. 

Rheaume won a silver medal with the Canadian women's team at the 1998 Nagano
Olympics but was left off this year's team that won the gold medal at the
world championships in Mississauga, Ont. 

Considered a trailblazer for women hockey players, Rheaume was the first
woman to play in a major junior hockey game, following that up by being the
first woman to play in an NHL game. She started for the Tampa Bay Lightning
in an exhibition game in 1992. 

Her brother Pascal plays for the St. Louis Blues and her husband Gerry St.
Cyr is a member of Canada's roller hockey team. St. Cyr and Rheaume have a
13-month-old son, Dylan.

Hi, this list has been kinda quiet lately. I hope
everyone is having a fun and hockey-filled summer.I
went to go sharpen my skates and realized there's not
too much blade left, and i've been wanting new skates
so this is the time. I suppose i could check back in
the archives again, but i wanted to hear everyone's
input on what kind of skates are best. My boyfriend
swears he'll disown me if i buy Bauers, he says their
quality has deteriorated since being with Nike. I've
always had Bauers. I heard the CCMs are nice, too. I
have a relatively wide foot, and some say CCMs will
fit better, some say Bauer. Agh!
help,
Susan
