Member of the Canadian U22 team from 2006 to 2010 / Canadian Women's National Team / NCAA All-American (2010) / Clarkson Cup Champion (2010–11), nicknamed Manue or (Croquette in French) (because she's small), she started playing at the age of 5 and was on the first girls' team (Montreal Maroon Espoir) to play in the Espoir category. She completed a bachelor's degree with a major in communications and a minor in psychology at University of Minnesota Duluth.
Emmanuelle Blais began her amateur hockey in the region of Montreal in Quebec. She started playing hockey at the age of 5, and was the first girl ever to play in the Espoir category (Montreal Maroon Espoir).

In its April 29, 2010, Sports Illustrated listed Emmanuelle Blais as one of its "Faces In The Crowd".
