Sass & Slapshots

by Sarah Murphy + Vee Weir

Sass & Slapshots is a podcast for women who love hockey, by women who love hockey. We give listeners weekly news, game analysis, and cultural hockey conversations from the perspective of two women who found hockey later in life. There's no shame in our game. From veteran fans to rookies just discovering hockey, everyone is welcome to learn more and encouraged to become obsessed with the best sport on the planet. - Become An Official Sass & Slapshots Fan: • Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/cw/sassandslapshots • Follow Us On Threads: https://www.threads.com/@sassandslapshots • Follow Us On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sassandslapshots/ • Subscribe To Us On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SassandSlapshots • Buy Us A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/veeweir25l - Contact: • Have a hockey question or need clarification?

We do not tolerate intolerance. - About The Hosts: • Sarah Murphy was born and raised in Kentucky where football and basketball dominated sports. A custom cookie art baker by trade, as soon as she discovered hockey, she put down the icing and picked up her MBA with the goal of starting a career in the sport. The Avalanche became Sarah's favorite team after attending an away game against the Preds. Soon after, Sarah visited Denver and realized that moving to The Centennial State was her fate. When she isn't watching, writing, or talking about hockey, she's baking, crocheting, or reading. Sarah loves to travel, and plans trips around the Avalanche hockey schedule. She bleeds burgundy and blue! Go Avs! • Vee Weir lives and breathes Avalanche hockey. As a veteran content creator and marketer, Vee's work has been featured in Mashable, CNET, Forbes, and more. Vee discovered hockey in 2022 when Colorado won the Stanley Cup. Ever since that fateful day, hockey has been her hyper-fixation and special interest. When she isn't watching, writing, or talking about hockey, she's curled up under a heated blanket, reading or cuddling with her three dogs. - Special Thanks: • Corey Tyler - Sound Engineer + Branding • Joseph Bogumill - Podcast Editor

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every single episode of S&S, in an ocean of soulless corporate cash grab content they feel the most like I am just having a conversation with my friends about a sport I love. I recommend them to anyone who has even a passing interest in hockey.

Mountains and Matthew · Mar 2026

Absolutely loved being on this show as well as listening to it weekly! The guests are awesome and the hosts are even better!! More breakout women in hockey spaces, please!! 🙌🏽

LAC-9 · Feb 2026

As someone who consumes an embarrassing amount of hockey content, this is my new favorite podcast. The passion that Sarah and Vee have for the game is infectious. They mix an extensive knowledge of hockey with a good sense of humor, but also aren’t afraid to shed light on some of the problems that still exist in the game. Essential listening for every hockey fan. Especially for the Avs fans.
