Favourite Moment with Team Canada

Representing Canada and competing against top quality opposition on the pitch and the camaraderie and friendship we share off it.

Proudest Moment

Winning the 2009 Pan-Am Cup in Santiago, Chile to qualify for the 2010 World Cup in New Delhi, India. Amazing 4-3 overtime win against arch-rivals Argentina in the semi-final and then a 2-1 overtime win against the United States in the final to qualify.
