When Canada’s women’s soccer team captured gold at the Tokyo Games, the unprecedented achievement was felt beyond the walls of the Canadian locker room.
The Canadian team is getting set to kick off its Celebration Tour in honour of their golden achievement. The series starts with a two-game set against New Zealand, beginning Saturday in Ottawa and then a rematch Tuesday at Stade Saputo in Montreal. “This gold medal – it means so much for kids like Jane,” her mom, Jody, said. “Whether they're boys or girls, it's just such an exciting time for soccer.”
“So if she is chosen… it's going to be a big commitment for her,” Jody said. “But she has already decided that that's what she wants to do.”
