Two-time Olympian Melodie Daoust makes world hockey championship debut
Had the final score been different, Melodie Daoust’s shootout goal would be more celebrated in Canadian hockey history.
With an Olympic gold medal on the line last year, Daoust didn’t play it safe by choosing a corner of the net and shooting.
She wheeled in on U.S. goaltender Maddie Rooney, going forehand-backhand-forehand before reaching to slide a one-handed backhander by the netminder’s outstretched pad.
