Biography
When you look at Jacqueline Gaudet’s impressive ringette career, it’s not hard to understand why she’s one of Team Canada’s strongest assets. Gaudet has been named a national all-star every year since 1998, she was a gold medalist at the 1999 Canada Winter Games, she’s a seven-time national champion, she picked up a gold medal as part of Team Canada in 2002 and silver medals in 2000 and 2007, and in 2008 won gold at the first ever world club championship with the Cambridge Turbos. In 2010, Gaudet was named the National Ringette League’s Most Valuable Player, an honour she was also awarded during the 2005-2006 season.
Gaudet started playing ringette at the age of five, following in the footsteps of her older sister Jenn. She credits making her debut on Team Canada in 2000 as her greatest ringette accomplishment. When asked the best piece of advice she has ever received Gaudet responds, “To believe in myself, have confidence in my abilities and to never give up. If you always give 110 percent, only good things can happen.”
Gaudet has an honours degree in Science from McMaster University and currently works as a sales representative. She can also be found playing soccer and recreational slo-pitch.
