Playing career

Undrafted from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, Daoust first played professionally for the Danbury Trashers of the UHL in 2005.

On January 18, 2008, Daoust signed a professional tryout contract with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.[1] At the time, he ranked 1st in the ECHL in points (51) before signing with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.[2] He would finish the season with 18 points in 37 games.

On July 18, 2008, the Penguins exercised their option to re-sign Daoust.[3] Daoust then moved to the Houston Aeros for the 2009–10 season, before signing a one-year contract with NHL affiliate, the Minnesota Wild, to remain in Houston the following year.

On June 9, 2011, Daoust signed with European DEL team, the Straubing Tigers on a one-year deal.[4]
