Muther Puckers is by hockey moms for hockey moms. It's flannel. It's early wake-up calls and rink times. It's travel teams. It's stories from the pros, and the not-so-pros. It's the unmistakable smell of a duffel bag full of unwashed hockey gear. It's ice - sometimes in the rink and sometimes in a glass...surrounded by whiskey. It's interviews, information, and inspiration for hockey moms and those who have no choice but to love them.

    Muther Puckers Episode 104- Adam Johnson and Mitigating Risk

    Hello Mama's-I was out last week thanks to a nasty virus so that's why you didn't hear from me! However, as bad as I still sound I felt compelled to share an episode honoring Adam Johnson and the 23 other hockey players who have died during a game. I talk about mitigating risk inside our call to action "NHL make neck guards mandatory" cries.

Hello Muther Puckers!

I recently discovered this podcast and am now binge listening to all the episodes. Julie is great and the content and guests are fantastic. I’ve been a hockey mom for 4 years now (in STL- go Blues!), my kiddo is going into his 2nd year of 8U and I am learning so much from this podcast. I keep sending episodes to my husband for him to listen. Thank you Julie!!!
