Mason was a hell of a coach and deservedly an MSU legend. All the best to his family, and condolences on their loss.
Very sad. The 1990s were a fun time for UM-MSU hockey, and Mason more than held up his end of the bargain. RIP.
he was a heck of a coach, just look how the program has fallen off since he left. RIP.
The 90's and very early 2000's were a great time for the Michigan-MSU Hockey rivalry. Mason was one heck of a coach, and was hired to do a lot when he became AD.
with NCAA championships at two of them. That's damn good.
It's sad that he had to see his program diminish the way it did in his last few years. He deserved better than that... RIP, Mr Mason.
Was always impressed with what he did with MSU's hockey program. I remember a couple matchups between UM/MSU at the GLI that were always hard fought affairs. My condolences to his family, friends and yes, the MSU hockey community.
Great man, great coach, and great for the Big 10. A rare instance of a Spartan I actually liked. RIP Coach Mason
RIP, Coach - a big loss
and a class act. RIP Coach Mason, and condolences to the Mason family and to all MSU hockey fans.
Wow, this is very sad news.
RIP to Coach Mason.

Probably a heart attack.
Condolensces to his family and the MSU family. He was a hell of a coach, and really made MSU hockey there in the 90's and 00's.
Very sad to hear. He was an absolute legend in the college hockey world. 2nd winningest coach in college hockey history.

Those games vs. MSU in the late 80's-90's were among the most intense hockey games I have seen in person. RIP to a great coach.
My heart and prayers go out to his family & friends. In 2001 I was at the Great Lakes Tourney too bad it wasn't MSU VS Michigan Championship Game.
