Michigan State to Rename Ice Surface for Legendary Hockey Coach

Michigan State is naming the ice surface at Munn Arena for legendary hockey coach Ron Mason. The honor goes to Mason after a career where he coached for 36-seasons, 23 of those at Michigan State. When Mason retired from coaching in 2002, he was the winningest coach in college hockey - and is still number 2 on the list today.

“Ron Mason is one of the iconic coaches in the history of Michigan State Athletics,” said MSU Vice President and Director of Athletics Alan Haller.

Mason’s legacy at Michigan State includes five years as athletic director.
