For any athlete, being the difference in a big game with a championship on the line is the ultimate dream.

What Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson did in the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics gold-medal game against Canada lives on as one of the greatest moments in USA Hockey history. Facing the four-time defending Olympic gold medalists and uber-rival, Lamoureux-Davidson scored a dazzling goal in the sixth round of the shootout to give the U.S. a 3-2 victory and its first gold medal since 1998, the year the sport debuted on the Olympic stage.

For that moment and much more, Lamoureux-Davidson is part of the 50th Class going into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame on Wednesday, Nov. 30 in St. Paul, Minnesota. She was enshrined alongside sister Monique Lamoureux-Morando, along with Steve Cash, Jim Johannson, and Ryan Miller.

That Olympic score has been dubbed the “Oops, I Did It Again” goal, and while there is some sort of a Britney Spears tribute in there, Megan Duggan — a three-time Olympian who also has two silver medals — said it was a move that didn’t come out of thin air.

“That was something that she thought of, studied and worked on for months and months and months in case she was given an opportunity like that,” said Duggan, now the director of player development for the NHL’s New Jersey Devils and president of the Women’s Sports Foundation.

In addition to helping Team USA to the gold medal in 2018, Lamoureux-Davidson earned Olympic silver medals in 2010 and 2014. She also won gold medals at six world championships and is tied for the third-most gold medals at the women’s world championship in U.S. history. During her three Olympic appearances, the Grand Forks, North Dakota, native had six goals and 10 assists in 15 games.

For her international career, she had 63 goals to go along with 75 assists, notching 138 points in 137 games. Lamoureux-Davidson also had a stellar collegiate career with the University of Minnesota and the University of North Dakota, following her development alongside her sister at Shattuck-St. Mary’s.

Going into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame with twin sister Monique is fitting. They have shared so many life moments together and consistently pushed each other to be the best that they can be on the ice.
