The process this team has underwent to get to this moment is impressive. TRUST THE PROCESS!!! Same to happen with the Canadian Mens team in 4-6 years, with help from some talented youth, and the right building blocks, I see big things happening.

Couldn't be prouder of our Canadian ladies for taking the gold medal and it wasn't an easy journey either. 🇧🇷, 🇺🇸, and 🇸🇪 were all incredibly tough opponents who tested our team in every way possible. So happy for Christine Sinclair and the rest of the ladies! Go 🇨🇦 Go!
