sportsMay 15, 202614176

The Professional Women’s Hockey League named Manon Rhéaume General Manager of its Detroit expansion team on May 15, 2026. Rhéaume will lead hockey operations and roster construction as PWHL Detroit builds toward its inaugural season. Her hiring places the only woman to play in an NHL game into a top executive role, linking a barrier-breaking playing career with the PWHL’s push for long-term professional stability and greater visibility for women’s hockey.

Manon Rhéaume has more recorded games played in pro men's hockey than pro women's hockey. Now she's a general manager of a professional women's hockey team. You have to love players that literally set the framework getting to take part in the PWHL even after their playing days.

As frustrated as I’ve been following the PWHL expansion process, this is absolutely brilliant. I’m excited for this Detroit team. www.nytimes.com/athletic/728...

Manon Rhéaume's stint as an analyst on the Wings feed ( I think it was still FSD at the time) showed that she is incredibly sharp/knowledgeable.

This is your periodic reminder that Manon Rhéaume is still not in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

I think she was the first female hockey player that I was aware of. Happy to see that she's still involved. www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/m...

If Manon Rheaume is the GM of the PWHL Detroit team, I wonder if one of first moves is trying to bring Ellen Hughes in for a role with the team. The Hughes' are still based in Metro Detroit and the families are good friends.
