APL alumna Kaylee Hunter earns Canada call-up for Denmark series
Hunter among eight Canada selections with connections to the PSLC pathway
Alberta Premier League (APL) alumna Kaylee Hunter has been named to Canada’s Women’s National Team roster for its upcoming two-match home series against Denmark.
The 18-year-old AFC Toronto forward is among 24 players selected by Head Coach Casey Stoney for Canada’s final international window before the 2026 Concacaf W Championship. She is also one of eight players on the roster with connections to the Premier Soccer Leagues Canada (PSLC) pathway.
Hunter began her journey through the PSLC pathway with Calgary Blizzard SC, competing for the club during the inaugural League1 Alberta Exhibition Series in 2023. She scored seven goals as the Blizzard went on to capture the first women’s title in league history.
Later that year, Hunter joined Vancouver Whitecaps FC Girls Elite in British Columbia, where she continued her rise through the domestic pathway. She helped the Whitecaps capture back-to-back Women’s Inter-Provincial Championship titles and was named tournament MVP in 2024.
Now competing professionally with AFC Toronto in the Northern Super League, Hunter earns her senior Canada call-up directly following a standout FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland. She led Canada with four goals at the tournament, including a hat trick in a 3-1 Round of 16 victory over France.
Hunter is joined by Gabrielle Carle, Melissa Dagenais, Vanessa Gilles, Emma Regan, Jade Rose, Olivia Smith and Evelyne Viens among the eight players on Canada’s roster who have previously competed in leagues connected to the pathway now represented by PSLC.
Two additional members of the roster also made brief appearances within the pathway. Kadeisha Buchanan made one appearance for Vaughan Azzurri in Ontario in 2016 as she prepared for the Rio Olympic Games, while goalkeeper Lysianne Proulx made four appearances in Québec.
Collectively, their experience stretches across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Québec, including leagues that formed the former League1 Canada alliance before it was rebranded as Premier Soccer Leagues Canada in early 2026.
Canada will face Denmark on Friday, Oct. 9 at Stade Saputo in Montréal before returning to action on Monday, Oct. 12 at BMO Field in Toronto.
