Carol Anne Chenard was a Team Canada short track speed skater who won six World Cup medals and once held the world record in the women’s 3,000-metre relay. But most would likely recognize her as Canada’s most accomplished international soccer official.

In 15+ years as a FIFA international referee, Chenard officiated at two Women’s World Cups and called the 2016 Olympic final between Germany and Sweden in Rio de Janeiro. She missed the 2019 Women’s World Cup while undergoing cancer treatments, but will return for this summer’s 2023 Women’s World Cup as a video official.

Chenard has also served as a mentor for rising Canadian referees, she’s officiated numerous Major League Soccer and National Women’s Soccer League games, and she’s called many matches on local pitches too, where she got her start in Gloucester.
