How many girls were there in the nhl?

As of October 2023, there have been only a few female players who have played in the NHL, with Manon Rhéaume being the first to appear in a regular-season game for the Tampa Bay Lightning in 1992. Since then, other women have participated in pre-season games or training camps, but no female player has played in a regular-season NHL game. The NHL remains predominantly a male league, with ongoing discussions about increasing female representation in hockey overall.
