Vancouver Rise FC defender Jaylyn Wright sits down to discuss life in Canada's Northern Super League!

Jaylyn breaks down what it means to be part of Vancouver's professional women's soccer roster, the intense competition across the league, and how the Canadian soccer landscape is shifting for the next generation of athletes.

She shares her initial reaction hearing about a professional women’s soccer league coming to Canada, what specifically made the Vancouver Rise the right fit, winning the inaugural Northern Super League title and Diana B. Matheson Cup.

She also talks about how she looks back upon that final retrospectively, how preseason went with lots of new faces, how the group is continuing to build continuity ahead of reaching the club’s ambitious goals and stepping into a vital role within the Rise system early in her professional career.

Additionally, Jaylyn elaborates on how her team's identity continues to develop, playing in front of the avid Vancouver fanbase, areas in her game she is aiming to build upon in her second season with the Rise, her time in NCAA women's college soccer, and so much more!
