History
2005-06: Mason enjoyed an outstanding rookie season with Clarkson as one of the team’s top four defensemen, seeing regular duty as junior Michael Grenzy’s (CHI) partner. The Dawson Creek, BC native notched six points (one goal, five assists). He was one of only two Golden Knights (and the lone freshman) to play in all 38 games. Mason’s plus-10 also led the team. His first collegiate point (an assist) came back on October 8, 2005 versus Niagara. Mason notched his first collegiate goal on February 10, 2006 versus Cornell.
Talent Analysis
Mason is an enthusiastic, mobile defenseman. He’s a defenseman who keeps things simple yet does it in a way that is quite effective. He plays with an abundance of energy and competitive spirit. One area where Mason’s game really matured over the course of the season was his on-ice awareness, particularly in the defensive zone. This was evident in reading and anticipating plays better. He is very smart and has excellent vision. Mason skates with nice long strides with good speed. He has demonstrated good poise with the puck and the ability to jump into plays. Mason can also be quite physical and can finish his checks. While he is still a project, Mason has already shown that he is a very solid and reliable two-way defenseman. With continued growth in his game and physical development, Mason could become a top-flight, dominating force as well.
Future
Mason will be entering his sophomore year at Clarkson University this fall.
