苹果淫院 Education alumna, M茅lodie Daoust (B.Ed. Phys. Ed. 2017) will compete with the Canadian women's hockey team in the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing, scheduled to take place February 4 to 20, 2022. It will be her third time competing in the Olympic Games, and as the 2021 World Championship MVP, she is determined to bring her team to victory.聽"We want to show everyone that the gold medal belongs to Canada," said Daoust when discussing next month's games.聽
From her first skate on her father's ice rink on the family dairy farm in Saint-Timoth茅e, now a neighbourhood of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, to the Beijing Games, Daoust has been through her fair share of trials. (Note the Radio-Canada coverage is in French.)
