Masters spent seven seasons with the Canadiens, from 2013 to 2019. Before his time with Montreal, he held video coach positions with the Colorado Avalanche, Florida Panthers, and St. Louis Blues between 2001 and 2013.
Masters was also a co-founder of Lacroix Hockey and shared his journey into the NHL on the Hockey Minds Podcast show. He credited Doug Armstrong, a notable NHL GM, as his greatest mentor, whose support helped Masters thrive in his career.
Our deepest condolences to the Masters family.
