Mississauga, Ont. – The Mississauga Steelheads are excited to announce that the team’s Social Media and Community Relations Manager, Samantha Fleming, has been hired as the Social Media Manager for the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks. She will work as part of the media team to strategize and create content for the Canucks’ social channels.
“We are so thrilled for Sammi as she moves her talents to the NHL”, said Steelheads’ Owner and President, Elliott Kerr. “The Vancouver Canucks have hired a superstar! We are so appreciative of everything Sammi has given the Steelheads organization over the past few years and we know she will continue to excel at the NHL level, specifically in Vancouver and surrounding communities.”
Samantha has been a part of the Steelheads organization since the 2019-20 season. While completing her Masters in Nutrition Communication at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), she joined the Steelheads as the team’s first ever Nutrition Intern. Following the Covid-19 break, Samantha was hired on to join the Steelheads’ front office staff as the Social Media and Community Relations Coordinator. In May 2023, she was promoted to a Manager title.
“We couldn’t be more proud of Sammi.” Steelheads’ Vice President Michael Hastings said. “She came in here and worked extremely hard to put herself in a position of success. It was only a matter of time before her drive and skillset were recognized by an NHL team. We can’t thank her enough for all she has done for the Steelheads organization and can’t wait to see her continued growth in the hockey world. Wishing you the best of luck with the Vancouver Canucks!”
Samantha will be relocating to Vancouver in August and starting her new position shortly thereafter. The Ontario Hockey League would like to congratulate Samantha on her new role and wish her the best of luck!
