Trio of Canadian women's soccer stars take centre stage in NWSL Championship

When the 2022 National Women's Soccer League playoffs kicked off on Oct. 15, members of the Canadian national team were front and centre.

All six clubs that qualified for the post-season had at least one player from Canada's women's team on their respective rosters.

Most notable among them was San Diego Wave FC's Kailen Sheridan who earlier this week was named the NWSL goalkeeper of the year, becoming the first Canadian to win one of the league's major individual awards.

Sheridan was also named to the NWSL Best XI for the second year in a row. But Sheridan, a 27-year-old from Pickering, Ont., came up short in the semifinals of the playoffs last weekend, as San Diego lost a heartbreaking 2-1 decision to the Portland Thorns when the home side scored deep into injury time.
