Owen McCourt incident
In the 1906–07 FAHL season Masson was involved in an early era incident of lethal hockey violence. On March 6, 1907, in a game between Masson's Ottawa Victorias and the Cornwall Hockey Club on the Victoria rink in Cornwall, Ontario, Masson struck Cornwall's Owen "Bud" McCourt in the head with his stick. McCourt died of his injuries the following morning. As a result of the incident Masson was put on trial charged first with murder and later with manslaughter, but was acquitted on both accounts.
