Canada's hopeful journey toward the FIFA Women's World Cup is just a month away, with players set to travel to Australia on June 28 before head coach Bev Priestman selects a final roster on July 9.
While the European seasons are wrapping up for many of Canada's probable World Cup players, the National Women's Soccer League continues on, set to release players to national teams on June 26.
After leaving Paris St. Germain for the OL Reign last summer, Huitema of Chilliwack, B.C., has already surpassed her number of NWSL matches played this season and has been one of the most in-form players in the league.
Leading the attack for Seattle's Reign, Huitema has four goals in 12 appearances, with three goals in her last six games, scoring against the Houston Dash and NY/NJ Gotham, before finding the back of the net in a 2-0 win over KC Current on Saturday.
