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.
During the 2010–11 season, Daccord started playing junior ice hockey with North Andover High School. Daccord would help North Andover to a 3–0 record in their first three games of the 2011–12 season. [3] He then started play with Cushing Academy in 2012. [4] In his third and final season with Cushing, he achieved a 1.80 goals against average (GAA) and a save percentage of .933. [5] While he was with Cushing, Daccord was selected in the 21st round (307th overall) in the 2013 United States Hockey League (USHL) entry draft by the Omaha Lancers. He was then traded to the Sioux City Musketeers, before finally getting traded to the Muskegon Lumberjacks. [6]
Following his third season at Cushing Academy, Daccord was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the seventh round (199th overall) in the 2015 NHL entry draft. [7] He would spend the 2015–16 season with the Muskegon Lumberjacks. [6] With the Lumberjacks, he would set the franchise record for most saves in a season, with 1,344. [8] Daccord then joined the Arizona State Sun Devils (ASU) in the 2016–17 season. On January 13, 2018, Daccord would record his first collegiate shutout against UMass Lowell, making 28 saves in a 4–0 win. [9] The 2018–19 season, Daccord's final with Arizona State, saw him place among the top goaltenders in the NCAA with seven shutouts, a .926 save percentage, and a 2.35 GAA. [10] [11] He was named a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award [12] and Mike Richter Award. [13]
On April 1, 2019, the Senators signed Daccord to a two-year, entry-level contract. [14] In doing so, he became the first player in Arizona State University history to sign a National Hockey League contract. [15] [16] Daccord made his NHL debut on April 4, making 35 saves in a 5–2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. [17] The Senators would have one game remaining in the season, on April 6, where he was a healthy scratch. [18]
With Marcus Hogberg and Filip Gustavsson in net with the Senators' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Belleville Senators, Daccord was left with no choice but to start the season with their ECHL affiliate, the Brampton Beast. With Brampton, he achieved a 2.85 GAA and a .901 save percentage. [19] Daccord was finally able to play with Belleville when the Senators' Anders Nilsson was sidelined with a concussion. He won 15 games out of 24, posting a 2.61 GAA, and a .915 save percentage. [19] On October 17, 2020, Ottawa re-signed him to a three-year contract extension. [20] The following season in February 2021, Daccord was recalled from Belleville by Ottawa after Marcus Hogberg was injured. [21] On March 14, during warmups in a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, with Daccord serving as backup, starting goaltender Matt Murray suffered an injury. Daccord would go on to make 33 saves in a 4–3 win for his first career NHL victory. [22] In a game on March 17 versus the Vancouver Canucks, Daccord suffered a significant leg injury in the third period, forcing him to leave the game and miss the rest of the season. [23]
On July 21, 2021, Daccord was left unprotected by the Senators for the 2021 NHL expansion draft, where he was selected by the Seattle Kraken. [24] He entered the Kraken's inaugural season as third on the depth chart in goal, [25] and was assigned to Seattle's AHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers, after the Kraken's training camp, joining goaltenders Antoine Bibeau and Evan Fitzpatrick as Charlotte's goaltenders. [26] With the Checkers, Daccord achieved a .925 save percentage and 2.28 GAA in 34 games. [27] In October 2021, Daccord was recalled by Seattle and started his first game for the Kraken on October 19, against the New Jersey Devils. [28] With the Kraken during the 2021–22 season, he went 0–4–0 with 4.30 GAA and .850 save percentage. [29] Daccord was still a very prominent player in Charlotte, as there was an injury to fellow goaltender Christopher Gibson, and goaltender Spencer Knight was spending time with the Florida Panthers, all of which allowed Daccord more time to play. [30] He was named the AHL Goaltender of the Month in March 2022, as he displayed a 6–1–0 record, managing a 1.55 GAA and .956 save percentage. [30] In May, Daccord helped the Checkers advance to the third round of the 2022 Calder Cup playoffs by achieving a 4–0 shutout against the Bridgeport Islanders to clinch the best-of-five series. [31]
For the 2022–23 season, Daccord was assigned to Seattle's new AHL affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds. With the Firebirds, he set a 26–8–3 record with a GAA of 2.38, fifth best in the AHL. [32] In the 2023 Calder Cup playoffs, Daccord improved, playing in all 26 games, registering a GAA of 2.22 and recording three shutouts, including two during the Calder Cup finals against the Hershey Bears. [27] Daccord was the first goaltender to start the Calder Cup Finals with two straight shutouts since Maurice Roberts of the Cleveland Barons in 1939. [33] Despite Daccord's effort, the Firebirds lost in seven games. [34]
On June 30, 2023, Daccord signed a two-year contract with the Kraken. [35] He would achieve his first NHL shutout on December 12, in a 4–0 win against the Florida Panthers, making 24 saves. [36] Daccord would then achieve the first-ever Winter Classic shutout in NHL history, in the 2024 Winter Classic against the Vegas Golden Knights, in a 3–0 win, making 35 saves. [37] Throughout all of this, Daccord would help the Kraken achieve a franchise record nine-game win streak and 13-game points streak. [38]
Daccord was born on August 19, 1996, to parents Brian and Daniela in North Andover, Massachusetts. [39] Brian Daccord is a former goaltender who played professionally in the National League (NL) in Switzerland and is currently the President and Founder of Stop It Goaltending.
