Jocelyne Nicole Lamoureux-Davidson (born July 3, 1989)[1] is an American former ice hockey player. She scored the game-winning shootout goal to win the gold medal for Team USA at the 2018 Winter Olympics against Canada after her twin sister Monique tied the game near the end of regulation.

Lamoureux-Davidson also won silver medals for the United States women's national ice hockey team at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics.[2] Lamoureux played one season of NCAA hockey for the University of Minnesota and three for the University of North Dakota. She competed for a year with the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association, a worker's union pushing for equality in the sport, and retired from playing in 2021.[3] After her retirement, Monique and her twin sister published their first book Dare to Make History.[4] The sisters also founded the Lamoureux Foundation, which funds educational and extracurricular programs for children in need, primarily in their home state of North Dakota.[5]
