Jocelyne Nicole Lamoureux-Davidson (born July 3, 1989) is an American ice hockey forward. She was named to the United States women's national ice hockey team for the 2010 Winter Olympics along with her twin sister Monique, winning a silver medal. Lamoureux played one season of NCAA hockey for the University of Minnesota and three for the University of North Dakota.

Jocelyne and her twin sister were both all-state in ice hockey as teenagers. Together they played on the Peewee A Boys' team in 2001–02 team (called the Wheat Kings) as twelve-year-olds, leading them to the North Dakota State Hockey championship. Afterwards they accepted a scholarship to Shattuck-St. Mary's School in Minnesota, the same school at which Sidney Crosby played. The Lamoureux sisters led the school to four state titles and three national championships (2005, 2006, and 2007). In her freshman year (2004–05), she accumulated 102 points (47 goals, 55 assists) in 60 games. In the following season she had 137 points (68 goals, 69 assists) in 59 games to place second on the team in points and first in goals. In 2006–07 she ranked second on the team with 131 points (65 goals, 66 assists), and tallied 107 points (42 goals, 65 assists) in 27 games as a senior.

As a freshman in 2008–09, she finished second on the team and fourth in the nation with 65 points (28 goals, 37 assists). The Gophers appeared in the NCAA Women's Frozen Four. At season's end, she was earned All-WCHA First Team and All-WCHA Rookie Team honors.

In 2009 Jocelyne and her sister transferred from Minnesota to North Dakota. The reason for the transfer to their home state was attributed to the fact that North Dakota hired Brian Idalski, a former coach at the USA Hockey Development Camps. On October 23, 2010, she had a hat trick and one assist against Minnesota State. In addition, one of her goals was the game-winning goal. The hat trick was the first by a North Dakota player since Cami Wooster in 2005.
