Brian Mason (born September 5, 1950) is a Canadian retired ice hockey coach who led RIT to their first national championship in 1983.
[1] Brian Mason debuted in college hockey in 1970 with the powerhouse Clarkson Golden Knights led by legendary coach Len Ceglarski.
While Mason would lead the team in scoring for the next two seasons[2][3] Clarkson was unable to get close to another tournament berth during his time there.
[7] Mason was taking over a declining program in Hanover that had seen some success in previous years but the recent returns hadn't been good.
A significant jump to 10 wins the next year began to erode immediately thereafter and ended with only four victories in 1989-90, leading to Mason's dismissal from the team.
