Manon Rheaume, the first woman to play in the NHL, is headed back to the ice after a summer on hardwood in the Roller Hockey International league. Rheaume was signed to a contract yesterday by the Reno Renegades of the West Coast Hockey League one day after the club released goalie Derek Christiaens. Rheaume, of Lac Beauport, Que., made history when she played a period of goal for the Tampa Bay Lightning in a 1992 exhibition game. She has divided her time since with minor league teams and in roller hockey. ---------- Contents copyright © 1996 Sun Media Corporation and Rogers Multi-Media Inc. All rights reserved.
