Internationally, Buchanan has won 118 caps for Canada and helped lead the national women’s team to an Olympic gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Games.

Buchanan, from Brampton, Ont., has been named Canada’s player of the year three times and was nominated for the 2015 Ballon d’Or awarded to the top female player in the world.
