Rhyah Stewart
Canadian ice hockey player (born 2006)
Rhyah Stewart (born November 23, 2006) is a Canadian college ice hockey player who is a goaltender for the University of Wisconsin of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
Playing career
In the 2022–23 season, Stewart became the first woman to play for the Cape Breton West Islanders at the boys' under-18 'AAA' level. In 21 games, she recorded a save percentage of .899, the eighth best in the league, facing more shots and making more saves than any other goalie. Her performance earned her an invitation to the preseason camp of the Cape Breton Eagles of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL, then the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League).
While in training camp with Cape Breton, Stewart appeared in a preseason game, playing half the game and stopping all 24 shots she faced in a 5–3 loss to the Moncton Wildcats. Although other women have played in the QMJHL, Stewart was the first from the Maritimes and the first for the Eagles. Returning to the Islanders for the 2023–24 season, Stewart recorded a .913 save percentage in 18 games, earning second team all-star honours before improving to a .930 in 10 playoff games.
Entering the 2024–25 season, Stewart again attended Eagles training camp and again appeared in a preseason game. While at camp, she signed with the West Kent Steamers of the Maritime Junior Hockey League (MHL). Upon her debut for the Steamers, she became the second known female MHL player after goaltender Lisa Herritt in 1995–96.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Rhyah Stewart”, the useful work is to connect “canadian ice hockey player (born 2006)” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q130287363. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
