Dakota Chan, lifted the Canadian women to a championship at the 2018 Nations
Cup.
A year later, the side knows that same level
of effort will be needed to realize the same result.
Canada, which also won the title in 2016, put
up a defensive wall in its first three games, not allowing a goal against. That
included a scoreless draw with Team USA. The solid team play was evident in the
final as well, as Canada got by 2017 champion Ireland 3-1.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the
Nations Cup, with Canada and Ireland among the eight teams competing in the
Women’s Open Division. The other nations represented are Africa, Italy, China,
India, England and First Nations.
