Biographie
Jordyn Huitema was just 20 when she helped Canada to gold on her Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020.
Having taken up football aged four, the Chilliwack native went on to join the Whitecaps FC Girls Elite REX program along with future Canada teammate Julia Grosso.
At 13, she shone at the inaugural U-15 CONCACAF Championship in 2014 and scored the decisive penalty in the shoot-out final win over Haiti. She was the joint top-scorer with eight goals at the 2016 edition where Canada lost in the final to the United States.
Later that year, she would be picked for the U-17 Women's World Cup in Jordan. Huitema scored just three minutes into the side's opening 3-2 win over Cameroon, but Canada would fail to make it out of the group stages.
In 2017, the forward made her senior national team debut against Spain in March's Algarve Cup in Portugal where she gained the attention of scouts from Paris Saint-Germain Feminine. Three months later, she scored her first goal for the Canucks in a friendly against Costa Rica and doubled her tally a minute later in a resounding 6-0 win. In that year, she scored for the U-17, U-20 and senior international sides and was voted U17 Canadian Player of the Year.
