Catherine Daoust is a Canadian ice hockey defender, currently signed with PWHL Montreal of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL).
Career[]
Daoust won a $1,500 scholarship from the NHL's Montreal Canadiens in 2013.[1]
From 2014 to 2018, Daoust played and studied at the University of Minnesota Duluth, putting up 37 points in 140 NCAA games.[2][3] She was named to the WCHA All-Academic Team in both 2016 and 2017, and served as an assistant captain for Minnesota-Duluth in her senior year.
She was drafted 28th overall by Les Canadiennes de Montréal in the 2018 CWHL Draft.[4] After graduating, she signed her first professional contract with the club, scoring 5 points in 27 games in her rookie CWHL season.[5] She scored her first goal in her second game, a 9–0 victory over the Worcester Blades.[6]
After the collapse of the CWHL in May 2019, she joined the PWHPA. She played for Team Knox at the Unifor Showcase in September 2019.[7]
In 2022, Daoust signed with Montreal Force in the PHF and spent one season with the team,[8] before the PHF was bought out to form the PWHL. In 2023, she attended a training camp for PWHL Montreal[9] and was initially named to the reserve roster, but was subsequently elevated to the main roster ahead of the team's January 10 win over PWHL New York.[10]
International[]
She represented Team Canada at the 2013 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship, scoring 3 points in 5 games as the country won gold.
Personal life[]
Daoust attended Cégep de Saint-Laurent. She has a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.[11][12] Her boyfriend has launched the Until She’s Paid platform, aiming to profile women's hockey players and to petition the NHL to fund women's hockey.[13]
