Whether it was scoring the decisive goal in extra time for a national title or encouraging kids to play for the love of the game, Phebe Trotman has always led by example.
A soccer phenom from a young age, Trotman was an integral part of numerous championships after jumping into the sport with the Bel-Aire club at the age of six. Playing for Simon Fraser University, she netted the game-winning goal in the 2000 NAIA national final in the 163rd minute.
Trotman would earn two NAIA first-team all-star nods over her university career, the 2000 Player of the Year and BC’s adult player of the year awards.
In the pro ranks, the striker played for Fort Collins and the Vancouver Whitecaps over a six-year span, contributing to the Whitecaps’ 2004 W-League title — and earning the W-League MVP award in the process.
While with Coquitlam and Burnaby at the premier level, Trotman racked up national banners in 2001, 2015 and 2018. Her trophy cabinet also includes the 2007 Pacific Coast League’s playoff MVP award.
