If you didn't know where to look, you wouldn't see him. But when Joey Daccord took the ice for his National Hockey League debut on April 4, 2019, in Buffalo, he was there. He was there in Game 7 of the 2023 Calder Cup Final against the Hershey Bears in Coachella Valley. And he was there at T-Mobile Park in Seattle on New Year's Day 2024, with his signature smirk across his face, when Daccord recorded the first shutout in NHL Winter Classic history. He was there because any time Daccord takes his place between the pipes, Sparky is with him, painted somewhere on his goalie mask.
