Playing career

Duvin attended the University of Maine, but was unable to play for the Black Bears due to differences in the French and American school systems. She spent the year training before moving on to the hockey program at the Université de Montréal. [1]

In her Carabins debut on 16 October 2016, a 5–1 victory over Concordia University, Duvin recorded an assist. She recorded her first U Sports goal on 30 October, in a 5–2 victory also against Concordia. [2]

Entering the 2020–21 season, Duvin and international teammate Lara Escudero searched for a team that would sign both of them. After inquiring to clubs across Europe, the two Frenchwomen secured contracts with TPS Turku of the Finnish Naisten Liiga (NSML). [1]

Duvin returned to TPS for the 2021–22 season. Following an incident on 26 September 2021 where teammate Maija Otamo cross-checked Ilves forward Emilia Varpula in the head, rendering Varpula unconscious, Duvin was involved in an altercation with Elli Suoranta, and both were suspended for one game. [3]

Moving to EV Bomo Thun of the Swiss Women's League (SWHL A) for the 2022–23 season, Duvin recorded 47 points in 23 games and was named the league's best forward. [4] [5]

In the 2023–24 season, Duvin led the SWHL A with 35 goals and 67 points in 28 games, earning the titles of best forward and league MVP. [6] She signed a one-year extension with the club on 24 January 2024. [7]

International play

At the 2015 World U18 Championship Division IA, Duvin led France to a gold medal with nine goals and 13 points in five games, the best marks in the tournament. [8]

Duvin represented France at the IIHF Women's World Championship in 2019 and 2023. [9] [10] [11]

At the 2022 World Championship Division IA, Duvin recorded a goal and three points in a 4–1 victory over Norway to secure promotion to the top division. [12]

In the 2024 World Championship Division IA, Duvin earned the directorate award for best forward with a tournament-leading 10 points in five games. [13] [14]
