Goyette was named the fifth head coach of the Dinos women’s hockey program on May 9, 2007, bringing immediate success to the team.

In her first year as a head coach at any level, Goyette led the Dinos to a record of 12-6-4 in 2007-08, coming just one win shy of the ACAC title. From there, she led her team to the ACAC title in 2009, a return to Canada West in 2010, a playoff appearance in 2011, and a first-place finish in 2012.

Few athletes in any sport can match Goyette's accomplishments at the international level after an outstanding 16-year career with Canada’s national women’s hockey team. She is a two-time Olympic gold medalist (2002, 2006) and captured a silver medal in 1998 in addition to eight World Championship titles – the most recent coming in Winnipeg in 2007. She has represented Canada at international competitions more than any other hockey player in history – male or female – and has more than 100 goals to her credit in international play.

Her Olympic accomplishments extend outside medals – she was the leading goal scorer in the 1998 tournament in Nagano, ranking second overall in points. The greatest honour of her career came at Torino 2006 when she was selected to carry Canada’s flag into the opening ceremonies.

The forward also won three gold medals each with Team Alberta and Team Quebec at the Esso Women’s Nationals. She has been part of the NWHL and the WWHL with the Calgary Oval X-Treme since 1999, helping the team win three league championships.

Goyette was part of the Olympic Oval’s high performance female hockey program from its early stages in 1997.

She is an accomplished skills coach, having worked with numerous bantam and midget boys’ teams in skill and skating development as well as with a variety of hockey schools across Canada. In 2012, she was named as an assistant coach for Team Canada at the world championships and reprised that role at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. Canada went on to win the gold medal.
