Emma Bowles, Goalie

Emma Bowles was the GB keeper during the late 80s and early 90s. She was the first women to dress for a top men's team. Emma Bowles played one period for Oxford (vs Solihull) in 1981. Oxford had forgotten to tell their team there was a game and Emma was at the rink due to a women's match. The first keeper gave up exhausted after two periods as Oxford lost 50-0. Emma played the third period.

Emma played for the Oxford women's team when they won their six consecutive titles, though I'm not sure if she played in the first two seasons. Last season she won another championship with Sunderland.
