CANWNT News
We recorded our latest episode; For Kicks Podcast, Episode 8. In the episode, we recap the June 4 and 7 games CANWNT played on home turf against upcoming Olympic host country, Brazil. As a bit of a treat and change of pace, we welcome special guest Andrea, former keeper for team Ontario and the U-17 Canadian team, to talk to us about the direction of the team, thoughts about the first Brazil friendly and her predictions for Rio. We also answer some questions from listeners!
