With a resume ladened with superlatives, Danièle Sauvageau has carved an impressive career in the hockey world.

In 1994-95, Sauvageau served as Head Coach of Team Quebec for the Canadian Nationals. That team was nominated as Team of the Year at the Quebec Sports Awards. The following year, she was the recipient of the Coach of the Year award for St. Eustache, Quebec.

Sauvageau was named Head Coach of Canada’s Under-19 Women's Hockey Team when it was founded on May 15, 1996. She was also selected as an Assistant Coach with Team Canada at the 1996 IIHF Women’s Pacific Rim Championship, where the team won the Gold Medal.

Danièle Sauvageau has taken part in six Olympic Games as Women’s Hockey Coach, General Manager or Coaching Consultant. She also played a key role in Canada’s victories at seven consecutive IIHF Women’s World Championships.

She joined Team Canada as an Assistant Coach at the 1997 IIHF Women’s World Championship, and that team also collected the Gold Medal. Danièle was an Assistant Coach with Team Canada at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. The team won the Silver Medal at that event. Then in 1999, Sauvageau was named Head Coach of Team Canada at that year’s IIHF Women’s World Championship, and she led Canada to the Gold Medal. As Head Coach of Team Canada at the 2001 IIHF Women’s World Championship, she again led the team to the Gold Medal, and in 2002, Sauvageau returned as Head Coach of Team Canada at the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, where Canada again triumphed and took home the Gold Medal.

During that same period, she became the first female coach in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) when she accepted a role as Assistant Coach with the Montreal Rocket in 1999-2000.

Not limited to her numerous roles behind the bench in hockey arenas, Sauvageau found a role as a broadcaster and was the first female NHL Saturday Night Hockey TV analyst for Canada's French station Télévision de Radio-Canada.

In 2025, Danièle Sauvageau received yet another award for a career dedicated to Women’s hockey when she was inducted into the Builder Category of the Hockey Hall of Fame. She became the first female Honoured Member in The Hall’s Builder Category.
