Career

Daoust played during her junior years between 2008 and 2011 for the Sélects du Lac St-Louis and the college team of the Cégep Édouard-Montpetit , with whom she was very successful at the regional level in the province of Québec . During this time she took part with the Canadian U18 junior selection in 2009 and 2010 in the U18 Junior World Championship, where she first won the silver medal in 2009 and the world championship title the following year. With her scorer points she played a key role in winning medals. During the 2010/11 season , the striker gained her first professional experience when she played two games for the Stars de Montréal in the Canadian Women's Hockey League . She prepared three goals.

In the summer of 2011, Daoust went to McGill University , where she studied for the next six years. In parallel, she played for the university team in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport . At the end of the year, she also made her debut in the Canadian women's national team at the 4 Nations Cup 2011 . With the McGill University team, the Canadian developed into one of the best players in the college league. At the end of her first year, she was named Rookie of the Year and the following year she received the Broderick Trophy for the best college player in the CIS gaming operations. Before the 2013/14 season, Daoust left the university, which won the national championship this year, and moved to the Canadian ice hockey association Hockey Canada . With the selection squad, the offensive player prepared specifically for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi . There she won the gold medal with Team Canada , to which she contributed one goal in five tournament games.

Following the Olympic victory, Daoust returned to McGill University, but missed large parts of the 2014/15 season due to a rupture of the cruciate ligament . The attacker was not able to fully return to the game until the 2015/16 game year. After the 2016/17 season she finished her studies and was then selected in the Entry Draft of the Canadian Women's Hockey League in fourth place by the Les Canadiennes de Montréal . These also signed the Canadian, but had to do without them in the course of the season until February, as Daoust had again been recruited by Hockey Canada in preparation for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and subsequently completed her second Olympic Games. There she won the silver medal and was also recognized as the most valuable player of the tournament and was appointed to the All-Star team.
