A gold medal winning performance at the Tokyo Olympics has earned Canada’s women’s soccer team the honour of being The Canadian Press team of the year.
Alliston’s Deanne Rose was a member of the squad and came through with a clutch penalty in the gold medal win over Sweden.
It was a landslide win — with the team taking 38 out of 44 votes in the survey of sports editors, writers and broadcasters.
Manager Bev Priestman says she hopes that winning Olympic gold will inspire children to take up soccer.
