Hundreds gathered at Burnaby's new Christine Sinclair Community Centre for a party and jamboree with the Canadian soccer legend herself.
If there was any doubt about how much Canadian soccer superstar Christine Sinclair likes big crowds, lots of attention and public speaking, it was made pretty clear at the official opening of the Christine Sinclair Community Centre in Burnaby Saturday.
“She never talks about stuff like this, so we came up here and found out,” Sinclair’s uncle Brian Gant told the NOW. “She didn’t want anyone to come. She gets embarrassed.” “It’s nice to see all these kids continue with that sense of community and passion and be able to play the game that they love, and for me that’s what it’s all about,” she said. “It’s about the love of the game. I wouldn’t have been able to play for over 20 years if I didn’t have it, and that love was forged on the fields right here, just me as a little girl playing with my friends or my brother and his friends because they let me play.
