Playing career

Growing up in Kåge, just outside Skellefteå, Holm mostly played on boys' teams, but spent some time with the Damettan sides of Clemensnäs HC and IF Björklöven between 2013 and 2016.[1] In 2016, she was named to Västerbotten's team for TV-pucken, the fifth girl in history to participate in the tournament.[2][3]

From 2016 to 2018, she played for the Skellefteå AIK U16 boys' teams.[4] She was loaned to Luleå HF/MSSK in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL), the top flight of Swedish women's hockey, for a game in December 2016. Luleå won 11–0, with Holm picking up a shutout on her SDHL debut as a 15-year-old.[5]

In 2018, Holm signed with Modo Hockey, serving as the club's SDHL backup goaltender.[6] She picked up another shutout on her Modo debut, her second SDHL shutout in as many games, as the club defeated Göteborg HC 4–0.[7]

She left Modo after two seasons, returning to Luleå HF for the 2020–21 season.[8][9]

Holm joined the LIU Sharks ice hockey program of Long Island University as an incoming freshman for the 2021–22 NCAA Division I women's ice hockey season. She was named NEWHA Rookie of the Week for the week of 5 October 2021 and earned NEWHA Goaltender of the Week honors for the week of 23 November after making 60 saves on 63 shots for a .950 (95%) save percentage across back-to-back victories over Saint Anselm.[10][11]

International career

Holm represented Sweden at the 2019 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship.[12]

Personal life

Holm's father, Krister Holm, has been the goaltending coach for Skellefteå AIK in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) since 2006.[13]
