Shawn Walsh featured in BDN article about mentor Ron Mason
Former University of Maine hockey coach Shawn Walsh was mentioned in a Bangor Daily News story about his mentor Ron Mason, who recently passed away at age 76.
Walsh, who died in 2001 after battling cancer, once joked that he made the Bowling Green State University hockey team as a third-string goalie because coach Mason could score on him in practice. Mason was the second winningest coach in Division I college history. Walsh went on to lead the Black Bears to two national titles. Walsh and Mason’s daughter Tracey married and had two sons, Tyler and Travis Walsh, according to the article.
