Veteran striker Christine Sinclair will lead Canada's women's soccer team at the Pan American Games.
The 28-year-old from Burnaby, B.C., scored eight goals in six matches to lead Canada to the bronze medal four years ago in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Canada's all-time leading goalscorer is one of eight players with previous Pan Am Games experience.
New women's coach John Herdman is using the Games as part of the team's preparations for the Olympic qualifying tournament in January in Vancouver.
Canada is coming off a disappointing World Cup performance in Germany where the team went winless through the preliminary round.
The Canadians are in a group with Costa Rica, Argentina and Brazil at the Games, Oct. 14-30 in Guadalajara, Mexico.
