A Canadian in Disguise: Daccord Could Net for Team Canada

Joey Daccord, the American-born goaltender for the Seattle Kraken, is surprisingly eligible to play for Team Canada. With his father hailing from Montreal, Daccord possesses dual citizenship, making him a potential option for the upcoming 4-Nations Face-Off.

While Daccord has been overlooked in the past due to his American birth, his impressive performance in the NHL has caught the attention of Team Canada. Assistant GM Jim Nill has confirmed that the Kraken netminder is being seriously considered for a spot on the roster.

Daccord’s dual citizenship adds an intriguing twist to his potential international career. With his mother being Swiss, he could also represent Switzerland if he so chooses. However, it seems that Canada is the most likely destination for the talented goaltender.

As Daccord continues to impress in the NHL, his chances of donning the Canadian jersey in the 4-Nations Face-Off grow stronger.
