Kimberly Sass

Kimberly Allison Sass is an American architect and professional ice hockey goaltender, currently playing with the New Hampshire section of the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA) and serving on the PWHPA board of directors. Career Sass began playing ice sports at the age of three, originally doing figure skating before being asked by the coach of the local girls team if she and her sister wanted to switch to ice hockey. From 2008 to 2012, she played for Colgate University while studying. Across her four years at the university and 93 NCAA games, she finished second in program history in minutes played, saves, and wins. In 2011, she became the fourth goalie in the university's history to make 50 saves in a game, making 58 saves in a 6-2 loss to Cornell. When the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) was formed in 2015, she signed her first professional contract with the Buffalo Beauts. She would only play two games for the team during the 2015-16 NWHL season, however, before choosing to take a year away from hockey to focus on her architectural career. During the 2017-18 NWHL season, she was contacted by the Metropolitan Riveters, who offered her a position as a backup goaltender. After playing one game for the team in 2017-18, she dressed for the full 2018-19 season, posting a .885 save percentage across 12 games.
