Excerpt: Christine Margaret Sinclair (born June 12, 1983) is a Canadian soccer forward who is currently unsigned and is the captain of the Canadian national team. Sinclair has spent 11 years with the national team, participating in three FIFA Women's World Cups (USA 2003, China 2007, Germany 2011) and two Olympic Football Tournaments (Beijing 2008 and London 2012). She is the reigning, seven-time (2005 11) Canada Soccer Player of the Year. She was also honoured by FIFA as a nominee for World Player of the Year six times (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2012). Born in Burnaby, British Columbia, Sinclair is the niece of former North American Soccer League player Bruce Gant and niece of former Canadian international and NASLer Brian Gant.

She was first selected to British Columbia's under-14 girls' all-star team at age 11, and went on to lead her club teams Burnaby Girls Soccer Club to six league titles, five provincial titles, and two top-five national finishes, as well as leading her high school team at Burnaby South Secondary School to three league championships. She played for Canada's under-18 national team before making her debut at senior level in the 2000 Algarve Cup, leading Canada in goal scoring at that event (3 goals). In 2001, Sinclair arrived at the University of Portland where she made an immediate impact on an already formidable program. She recorded 23 goals and 8 assists in her first season, leading all freshmen in NCAA Division I total scoring. She was named Freshman of the Year by Soccer America magazine, and was a consensus All-America selection. In the 2002 college season for Portland, she led Division I in goals with 26. Her last two goals were in
