Early life

Born in Dallas, Texas to Swedish parents, Dousa moved to Stockholm, Sweden with his family in 1996.

Floorball career

In November 2013, Dousa was called up to the United States national floorball team for their 2014 World Floorball Championships qualifying campaign after impressing national team scouts at a floorball tournament in Westchester, New York. He made his full international debut for the United States on January 31, 2014 in a World Championship qualifier against Jamaica, scoring one goal and providing one assist in a 27–0 win. He won his second cap on February 2, 2014 in a qualifier against Canada, helping the United States clinch a spot at the 2014 World Floorball Championships through a 5–2 win. Despite contributing to United States' qualification for the World Championship, he was not selected for the final tournament held in Gothenburg, Sweden in December 2014.

In 2015, Dousa helped the Dallas-based floorball team the Lonestar Lions win the 2015 Lonestar Invitational Floorball Tournament (LIFT) in Arlington, Texas, playing alongside future United States international Matt Nunez.
