Under–21

[edit]

Goddard-Despot made her junior international debut in 2019 at an invitational tournament in Dublin.[7]

She didn't represent the junior national team again until 2021, where she competed at the postponed Junior Pan American Cup in Santiago.[5] At the tournament, the Canadian team made history, winning gold for the first time and qualifying for the FIH Junior World Cup.[8][9] She made the journey to South Africa later that year to compete in the Junior World Cup, however the tournament was postponed due to an outbreak of the Omicron variant of Covid-19. As a result of the outbreak, the team was stranded in South Africa for almost two weeks.[10][11]

In 2022 Husar returned to South Africa, competing in the postponed FIH Junior World Cup in Potchefstroom.[7]

She has been named in the squad for the upcoming third edition of the FIH Nations Cup in Santiago.[14]
