Ron Mason was college hockey's all-time winningest coach when he retired in 2002. He later served as MSU's Athletic Director. Mason has died at the age of 76.

We talk with Current Sports host Al Martin about the life and death of Gordie Howe and Muhammad Ali's funeral, and today's news that former MSU hockey coach and Athletic Director Ron Mason has also passed away.

This past week was a tough one for sports fans. Not only was Muhammad Ali laid to rest on Friday, but news broke that very day that Gordie Howe, one of the NHL's greatest players, had died at the age of 88.

In addition, former MSU hockey coach and Athletic Director Ron Mason has died.

Current Sports host Al Martin held tributes last week on our airwaves for the two sporting heavyweights. Along with looking back at Ali and Howe, we talk with Al Martin about the pro baseball dreams of a few MSU Spartans.
