History
Something of an unproven commodity with only 16 games of experience in the OHL, goaltender Steve Mason was nonetheless one of the most intriguing netminders available in the 2006 Entry Draft. Selected by the Jackets in the third round on the strength of a concerted scouting effort in Mason’s rookie campaign backing Adam Dennis in the London net, the Ontario native attracted a good deal of attention from several NHL clubs, which is a testament to his attractive combination of size, technique and intangibles.
Headed back to assume the starting mantle in London for the 2006-07 season, Mason already acquitted himself well in front of the organization during the Blue Jackets Prospect Development Camp. Placed into a rotation with the two other primary candidates to eventually spell Leclaire in the Columbus net, Popperle and LaCosta, Mason showed the poise and technical ability that drew interest from 15 NHL front offices at the 2006 draft combine.
