Eve Gascon becomes 3rd female goalie to play in QMJHL in Gatineau's OT loss

Eve Gascon added her name to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League history books Saturday.

The 18-year-old goaltender became just the third female player to play in the QMJHL as she followed in the footsteps of Manon Rheaume and Charline Labonte.

Gascon made 18 saves for the Gatineau Olympiques in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Rimouski Oceanic in front of a sellout crowd of 4,700 at the Centre Slush Puppie, a first for the new facility.

As part of her initiation Gascon was given the full rookie treatment as her teammates allowed her a solo lap prior to warm-ups and she enjoyed a loud ovation during the announcement of the starting lineup.

A historical rookie lap.
