  • A real tragedy. I've been playing hockey for 10 years now, and not once have i even considered not wearing a helmet, even in the warm up, his legacy still lives on.

    You have to feel for the person that hit him, like they said, it wasn't a dirty hit, but just an inevitability of hockey at the time.

    A real tragedy to hit the game, and fully justified he should have a trophy in his honour

    R.I.P. Bill Mastermon, lost your life, but saved hundreds more, may you never be forgotten. <3

  • I don't think there was footage of it.

  • idc how small this trophy is after watching this video i wouldn't try to win the cup i would try and win the bill masterton trophy... winning this trophy would mean more to me than the Stanley cup would

  • Disregard my first comment - I failed to notice the "died as a result of an on ice injury". I thought they meant died ON the ice from an injury. My bad.

  • @socomowner I stand corrected. I failed to notice the "died as a result of an on ice injury".

    My bad.

  • @raran44 He died 2 days after this hit, so he did not die on the ice

  • Technically, Bill Masterton is the only player ever to die on the ice DURING the game. There is some speculation that he is the second alongside Howie Morenz, but Morenz suffered a heart attack in the hospital while recovering from his broken leg.

  • @Jmoney6497 Fuck You ! Its TRUE ! And Im a Stars fan !

  • @valdes1978 How? Did you listen they didnt have freakin helmets back then!

  • Classy thing for Bill's son to say to Harris

  • This will happen again. It's just a matter of time. It's insane that people argue it was not dirty or it was a good body check.

  • @k9wrestling It wasn't until 1979-80 that all new players HAD to wear helmets.
