Canada’s 28-player squad was revealed last week and features key veterans like captain Christine Sinclair, Sophie Schmidt, and Desirée Scott and youngsters Sarah Stratigakis, Julia Grosso, and Evelyne Viens. Priestman is likely to use this window for final adjustments and evaluations before selecting her final 18-player roster for the Olympic Games.
