Daccord was a seventh-round pick in 2015 and played for the Ottawa Senators' AHL and ECHL affiliates before being selected by the Kraken in the 2020 expansion draft, becoming a full-time NHL player in the 2023-24 season.

He has been considered a potential candidate for Hockey Canada at the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off in February 2025.

Canada enters the 4 Nations Face-Off as the favorite, featuring star players like Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid, but faces questions regarding its goaltending depth.

Possible Canadian goaltenders include Jordan Binnington and Adin Hill, while the U.S. boasts reigning Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck among its options.

NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly stated that the NHL and NHL Players Association will consider players' eligibility on a case-by-case basis for the 4 Nations event, which is not IIHF-sanctioned.

Joey Daccord, a 28-year-old goalie for the Seattle Kraken, holds American, Canadian, and Swiss citizenship, which has led to discussions about his potential international representation.

Daccord has never played for the U.S. in IIHF events, allowing him to choose between Canada and Switzerland until he officially represents one of them.

The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) confirmed that Daccord is eligible to play for Canada, provided he has not previously represented another country in IIHF-sanctioned events.

He has spoken to the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation about potentially representing Switzerland at the 2026 Olympics, but has not committed to any nation yet.

In the 2024-25 season, Daccord started strong with 5.9 goals saved above expected, placing him among the top ten in the NHL for that metric.

He expressed pride in his diverse heritage and the honor of possibly representing any of the three nations at an international level.

During the 2023-24 season, he achieved a 2.46 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage, ranking sixth in the NHL among goalies with more than 25 games played.
