Two-time Olympian Melodie Daoust poised for world championship debut with Team Canada Globe_Sports
She joined Hayley Wickenheiser and Agosta among Canadians to earn that distinction.So it seems odd a two-time Olympian is about to play in her first world championship.
Passed over for subsequent world championships because of “injuries and bad timing”, Daoust had to climb over other forwards on Canada’s depth chart to be an Olympian again in 2018.She was a Canadian Women’s Hockey League rookie this season playing for Les Canadiennes de Montreal. “She’s a special player,” said Gina Kingsbury, director of national women’s teams. “She might be, in my mind, the smartest player we have.Daoust was also an assistant coach this past season with the University of Montreal Carabins, who won a bronze medal at the U Sports women’s championship.With coaching definitely in her future plans, the 27-year-old didn’t want to wait until the end of her playing career to start down that path.
