The acceptance of women's hockey into the 1998 Olympic Games accelerated the groundswell of interest in this highly-charged competitive sport. Despite the enormous popularity of women's hockey, players from around the world still confront intolerance and prejudice.
Using personal accounts from star players (including Manon Rheaume--the only woman to have played in a National Hockey League game), interviews with sport insiders and photographs, On the Edge provides a dramatic look into the business and politics of women's hockey today.
