Manon Rheaume, NHL's first female goalie, continues to inspire

Former hockey goalie Manon Rheaume and SportsCenter anchor Linda Cohn explain what Rheaume's time with the Tampa Bay Lightning meant to Cohn and other women.

Manon Rheaume’s worst nightmare has come true. Her son is a goaltender. Just like she was.

She loves the position. Loved being at the center of it all, the game resting on her shoulders. But she hates that her son is a goalie. Even worse? He’s really good. Just like his mom.

Rheaume was working with Mission Hockey, an equipment company, when her son, Dylan, started to skate at age three.
