Canada's Melodie Daoust is set to make her world championship debut after 'injuries and bad timing' kept her out of past tournaments.
Had the final score been different, Melodie Daoust’s shootout goal would be more celebrated in Canadian hockey history.
Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson’s equally impressive moves to score on a sprawling Shannon Szabados, followed by Rooney stoning Meghan Agosta to end the six-round shootout in favour of the U.S., get higher billing any time the 2018 Olympic women’s final is re-lived."I’m happy to see the world knows what girls are capable of," Daoust said. "We’re training the same way as the guys and trying the same moves.
"I’ve seen that move so many times in practice and so to see Melodie pull it out, I wasn’t surprised," her Canadian teammate Brianne Jenner said.Canada’s scoring leader in Pyeongchang with three goals and four assists in five games, Daoust was named the Olympic tournament’s most valuable player.Daoust also won Olympic gold with Canada in 2014.Daoust, from Valleyfield, Que., makes her debut Thursday when Canada opens against Switzerland in Espoo, Finland.
