Abby Roque, a forward for the New York Sirens in the PWHL, made history by scoring the league's first-ever Michigan goal in a match against the Ottawa Charge. This iconic trick shot, made famous in the 1996 NCAA playoffs by Mike Legg, involves lifting the puck onto the stick blade and shooting it into the top corner over the goaltender. Despite the Charge leading the game, Roque's agility and skill allowed her to execute the shot flawlessly, marking her sixth goal of the season and a significant moment for women's hockey.
"Honestly, there was a lot around the net and I just knew I had time behind the net to pick it up, I thought I may as well."
"The Michigan goal first came to prominence in 1996, when Mike Legg of the University of Michigan pulled off a 'lacrosse-style' goal in an NCAA playoff game."
