The two biggest victories came in quick succession.

In March 2017, the twin sisters Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson and Monique Lamoureux-Morando helped secure better pay and benefits for themselves and their teammates on the United States women’s hockey team.

Less than a year later, at the 2018 Winter Olympics, the Lamoureux sisters scored the final two goals of a comeback victory in the gold medal game against Canada. Jocelyne’s, a deceptive pullback that gave the Americans a win in a shootout, was arguably one of the most important goals in women’s hockey history.
