Ron Mason's legacy will forever be on ice in East Lansing.
Mason, the legendary hockey coach who later became athletic director at Michigan State, will be honored by the university when the surface at Munn Ice Arena officially becomes Ron Mason Rink next month.
The hockey program will make the dedication on Saturday, Oct. 6, when Michigan State takes on Lake Superior State. Mason got his start in coaching at Lake Superior State, before he went on to Bowling Green, and then eventually Michigan State, where he was head coach from 1979 through 2002.
Mason, who died in 2016 at age 76, made seven Frozen Fours at Michigan State, winning the national championship in 1986.
