PWHL Ottawa Charge Steals Extra-Time Victory After Vancouver Goldeneyes’ Strong Start
This afternoon, Rebecca Leslie ended the game just under three minutes into overtime, lifting the Ottawa Charge to a 3–2 win over the Vancouver Goldeneyes at Pacific Coliseum.
With the teams trading chances in extra time, Ottawa captain Brianne Jenner carried the puck up ice before finding Leslie in space. Leslie fired a quick shot through traffic that beat the goaltender bar-down, sealing the victory in front of a crowd of 11,201. The goal marked the 11th time this season that Jenner and Leslie have combined on a score.
Vancouver controlled much of the early play. The Goldeneyes pushed the pace in the first period and held a 12–3 advantage in shots, though neither side found the net.
Ottawa finally broke through late in the second period on the power play. Fanuza Kadirova stepped into a one-timer after a redirected pass from Sarah Wozniewicz, giving the Charge a 1–0 lead in the final minute of the frame.
The third period swung the game in Vancouver’s favour. Sarah Nurse electrified the crowd with an end-to-end rush, finishing a highlight-reel solo effort to tie the game midway through the period. Five minutes later, defender Sophie Jaques snapped a shot past the goalie to give Vancouver its first lead of the afternoon.
The Goldeneyes looked set to close it out, but Ottawa forced overtime in the final minute of regulation. Wozniewicz found the equalizer with 54 seconds left, quieting the home crowd and sending the game to extra time.
In goal, Gwyneth Philips turned aside 34 shots for Ottawa, recording her 10th win of the season and becoming the first goaltender in the league to surpass 500 saves this year. Vancouver netminder Kristen Campbell made 14 saves in the loss.
Vancouver finished with a 36–17 edge in shots but dropped its second straight overtime game at Pacific Coliseum.
The Goldeneyes continue their homestand Wednesday night against the New York Sirens, while Ottawa heads to face the Minnesota Frost.

FWC26 The Voyageurs Lead a Sea of Red to BC Place Before Canada vs. Switzerland
On June 24, Vancouver streets were filled with red and white as Canadian soccer supporters gathered for one of the biggest matches in the country’s history. Hours before Canada‘s FIFA World Cup 2026 group stage meeting with Switzerland at BC Place, fans joined The Voyageurs for their traditional march to the stadium.
The procession began near Main Street, where supporters carrying Canadian flags, banners, and scarves quickly transformed the neighbourhood into a sea of red. Chants echoed through the streets as drums kept the rhythm, drawing cheers from passersby and creating an incredible atmosphere.
The Voyageurs have long been the heartbeat of Canadian soccer support, following both the men’s and women’s national teams across the country and around the world. Their organized marches have become a matchday tradition, bringing together longtime supporters and families attending their first international match.
One of the most touching moments of the march was the tribute to Canadian midfielder Ismaël Koné. Many supporters carried signs featuring the number 8, while others held them high as the procession made its way toward BC Place. The gesture came after Koné suffered a broken leg during Canada’s previous match against Qatar, an injury that ended his World Cup campaign.
With Vancouver serving as one of the host cities for FIFA World Cup 2026, moments like these have become just as memorable as the action inside BC Place. The march showcased the passion surrounding Canadian soccer and highlighted the growing connection between the national team and its supporters.
By the time fans reached BC Place, the energy was impossible to ignore. The sea of red carried its optimism into the stadium, creating a memorable atmosphere before kickoff. Canada ultimately came up just short, falling 2-1 to Switzerland, but the support on display throughout the march showed the growing passion behind the national team. Win or lose, the gathering was another reminder that Canadian soccer culture continues to grow with every match.

FWC26 Canadian Fans Turn Granville Street Into a Sea of Red After 6-0 World Cup Win
Canada‘s emphatic 6-0 victory over Qatar wasn’t just celebrated inside BC Place. As thousands of supporters poured out of the stadium, the party quickly shifted to Granville Street, where downtown Vancouver became a sea of red and white.
Fans carrying Canadian flags filled the sidewalks, chanting, singing, and celebrating one of the national team’s most memorable World Cup performances. Horns echoed through the streets and fans waved flags as the whole city gathered to cheer together. It was the kind of spontaneous celebration that only major sporting moments can create.
The atmosphere was electric but welcoming. Families, groups of friends, and visiting supporters all shared in the excitement, taking photos, high-fiving strangers, and soaking in a night that many will remember for years to come. Every corner of Granville Street seemed alive with energy as fans celebrated Canada’s commanding performance.
As photographers, these are the moments we love to capture. The emotion after the final whistle often tells a story just as compelling as the action on the pitch. Smiles, hugs, waving flags, and voices echoing through downtown painted a picture of a city fully embracing the FIFA World Cup.
