Samantha Holmes (born June 23, 1977) played for the Canadian national women's ice hockey team from 2000 to 2005.

She wrote to her local newspaper, Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion,[2] Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch.

As a member of the Team Ontario contingent for the 1995 Canada Winter Games, her teammates included Jayna Hefford and Sommer West.

Holmes played for the X-Treme when they competed in the 2003 Esso Women's National Hockey Championship (held on March 16, 2003).

The idea stemmed from the fact that there were many elite hockey players in Calgary, but not all of them had the opportunity to play for the Oval X-Treme.
