From the 9/23 Rochester D&C:
 
"The Adirondack Red Wings of the American Hockey League have a new recruit in
mind to guard their nets. If this goaltender works out, it could further open
new ground for female athletes.
 
Erin Whitten is expected to join the Red Wings for regular practices today and
might play in one of their two AHL preseason games this weekend.
 
Whitten, 21, who said she always wanted to continue playing hockey after
college, would not be the first woman goaltender to play professionally. That
distinction belongs to Manon Rheaume, who played in the minor leagues last year
and saw action for one period in an NHL preseason game for Tampa Bay. Rheaume
is expected to play this season in the Tampa Bay Organization.
 
Whitten, a Glens Falls native, hopes to land a contract with a team in the East
Coast Hockey League."
