NHL 100: Women have played key roles in hockey over the last century
Women have played hockey and pioneered innovations in the sport since the game took shape in the late 1800s. While the National Hockey League has remained a male-dominated enterprise, women have occasionally broken through with achievements to change the game.
MARGUERITE NORRIS
Marguerite Norris was the first female executive in the NHL and the first woman to get her name on the Stanley Cup.
Norris was just 25, but had her late father’s business acumen when she became president of the Detroit Red Wings in 1952. In her three seasons at the helm (1952-1955) the Wings finished first three times and won two Stanley Cups.
