Joel "Joey" Daccord[1] (born August 19, 1996) is a Swiss-Canadian-American professional ice hockey goaltender for the Seattle Kraken of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected 199th overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.[2]

Growing up in Massachusetts, Daccord played hockey in his hometown with North Andover High School. He then started three seasons of play with Cushing Academy. Daccord then played with the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the United States Hockey League (USHL). Daccord then played three seasons of college hockey with the Arizona State Sun Devils starting in 2016.

In 2019, Daccord signed a contract with the Ottawa Senators. The next season, he was sent down to the Senators' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Belleville Senators, and their ECHL affiliate, the Brampton Beast, where he alternated between the two. Daccord was then left unprotected by the Senators and selected in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft by the Seattle Kraken. In 2023, he pushed their AHL affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds, to the Calder Cup Finals, losing in seven games to the Hershey Bears. In the 2023-2024 season Daccord became a full-time NHL player for the first time in his career and achieved the first-ever Winter Classic shutout with the Kraken in 2024. He finished the regular season with a 2.46 Goals Against Average and a .916 Save Percentage, both top-10 figures among NHL goaltenders with at least 20 games played.
