185. Record breaker. Legend. Leader. Teammate & friend. For a Canadian to break this record is extraordinary, and that’s what she is. You did it, Sinc. I’d chase you to 185 more. Congratulations, we are so proud of you. 🇨🇦🐐

She's done it. What an absolute legend.
For a Canadian to hold this record is simply unbelievable, but at the same time completely believable that Sinc could do it.
Congrats Sinc.

From Sinclair’s now-retired former Team Canada teammates…

I grew up idolizing you. I had your photo on my wall NOT the Spice Girls or back street boys, I asked for footballs for Christmas instead of barbies, backyard soccer sessions with my dad were better than a movie night at the theatres. I remember getting called into my first camp and being so nervous and not about being selected but about the fact I got to meet you! You were my Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan. You became a teammate, my margarita drinking friend and now you are a legend, goat & inspiration (still) There are no words for you but a simple….THANK YOU! Thank you for the memories, the medals and most importantly the laughs! CONGRATULATIONS MY FRIEND! G.O.A.T 🐐 #sincy185
