Michigan State Spartans men's ice hockey

The Spartan ice hockey program traces its roots back to the first informal varsity team that began in 1922 playing an independent NCAA Division I schedule.{{Cite web|work=U.S. College Hockey Online|url=http://www.uscho.com/stats/history/michigan-state/mens-hockey/2010-2011/|title=Michigan State Men's Hockey Team History|date=1996–2011|access-date=March 23, 2011}} On January 11, 1922, Michigan State played its first intercollegiate hockey game, a 5-1 loss to Michigan.{{cite web|url=http://www.msuspartans.com/auto_pdf/p_hotos/s_chools/msu/sports/m-hockey/auto_pdf/10-full-mg|title=Spartan Hockey Media Guide 2010-11|publisher=Michigan State University|year=2010|access-date=March 23, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110506195042/http://www.msuspartans.com/auto_pdf/p_hotos/s_chools/msu/sports/m-hockey/auto_pdf/10-full-mg|archive-date=May 6, 2011|url-status=dead}} Home games during the first season were played on the frozen Red Cedar River on MSU's campus.{{Cite book|title=Awe Inspiring: The Storied History of Spartan Hockey|last=Prisuta|first=Mike|publisher=Visions Sports Management Group, Inc.|year=1997|isbn=0-9658933-1-6|location=East Lansing, MI|pages=6}}

Michigan State finished 0–3 in the 1922 season and picked up its first win during the second season on February 11, 1923, 6–1 over the Lansing Independents. The team did not play the 1923–24 season but returned for the 1924–25 season. The 1924–25 season marked the first time the program had a head coach, John Kobs, who also coached the Michigan State Spartans baseball team. Kobs' tenure at Michigan State lasted six season before the team was suspended for 19 seasons. During which time the team compiled a record of 8-18-1.

Harold Paulsen was hired as the varsity ice hockey coach at Michigan State on August 1, 1948 following the suspension of the hockey programs during the years of the Great Depression and World War II. Before recruiting or coaching, Paulsen oversaw the renovation of Demonstration Hall into an indoor rink with artificial ice-making capabilities. On January 12, 1950, MSU played its first game since 1930, losing to Michigan Tech 6–2. Paulsen struggled through his first two years at Michigan State with a 6–25 record. MSU athletic director Ralph Young felt the hockey program's progress was inadequate and Paulsen resigned. Following the 1951 season, Amo Bessone accepted the head coaching position at Michigan State University. Bessone would remain at MSU for the next 28 years.

In the 1958–59 season Michigan State, Minnesota, and Michigan formed their own ice hockey division due to the dissolution of the WIHL. Michigan State won it with a record of 5–2–1 in the division play.

When Bessone arrived at Michigan State, the ice hockey program was beginning its third full season after being reinstated. That same season, in 1951–52, the Spartans joined Colorado College, Denver, Michigan, Michigan Tech, Minnesota, and North Dakota as founding members of the Midwest Collegiate Hockey League (MCHL).{{cite web|work=Western Collegiate Hockey Association|url=http://www.wcha.com/men/wcha/history.php|title=WCHA History Tradition and Success|year=2010|access-date=December 12, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101130075222/http://wcha.com/men/wcha/history.php|archive-date=November 30, 2010|url-status=dead}}

Amo Bessone won his first collegiate hockey game as head coach on November 29, 1951, when the Spartans defeated Ontario Agricultural College 8–2. The Spartans struggled with six losing seasons before Bessone turned things around in his seventh season as coach. In 1957–58, Michigan State enjoyed its first winning season. The following season, Bessone guided MSU to a Big Ten championship and a berth in the NCAA tournament.{{cite web|work=Inside College Hockey|url=http://insidecollegehockey.com/6History/ncaa_59.htm|title=1959 NCAA Tournament|date=April 2002|access-date=March 23, 2011}} The tournament was MSU's first NCAA tournament appearance. The Spartans defeated Boston College 4–3 in the semifinals and advanced to the schools's first championship appearance. The Spartans lost the 1959 national championship game in overtime 3–4 to North Dakota. MSU finishes the season 17-6-1. Michigan State became a charter member of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) in 1959. The WCHA was a reincarnation of the loosely affiliated Midwest Collegiate Hockey League and Western Intercollegiate Hockey League that disbanded following the 1957–58 season. Bessone and MSU struggled during the first five seasons of the WCHA. Again, Bessone turned things around with a winning season in 1964–65. The following season, Bessone coached Michigan State to an improbable NCAA National Championship.{{cite web|work=Inside College Hockey|url=http://insidecollegehockey.com/6History/ncaa_66.htm|title=1966 NCAA Tournament|date=April 2002|access-date=March 23, 2011}}

MSU began the 1965–66 season 4-10, but rebounded winning 12 of their last 15 games including defeating the defending national champion, Michigan Tech, to win the WCHA playoffs after finishing sixth in the regular season. The win earned MSU a spot in the 1966 NCAA tournament. In the national semifinals, Bessone upset highly favored Boston University 2–1 with a goal by Spartan forward, Doug Volmar. In the national championship game, Bessone and the Spartans faced Len Ceglarski's Clarkson team that owned the national-best record of 24–2. On March 19, 1966, Michigan State beat top-ranked Clarkson 6–1 victory to give Michigan State is first national championship. Len Ceglarski and Amo Bessone shared the Spencer Penrose Award as the national coach of the year in 1966. The national title and coaching award cemented Bessone's legacy as a coach. To this day, Bessone's 1966 Michigan State team remains one of the biggest underdog stories in NCAA ice hockey history. The total number of team victories (16) and team winning percentage (.551) is the lowest of any NCAA ice hockey champion. MSU made the NCAA tournament again with a strong WCHA playoff finish in 1967, but lost 2–4 in the national semifinals, a rematch of the 1966 NCAA Tournament against Boston University.

Bessone began the 1970s with six straight winning seasons. During Bessone's time coaching the Spartans the team won MSU won its first Great Lakes Invitational by defeating Michigan Tech 5–4 on December 28, 1973.

As MSU hockey was building momentum, Munn Ice Arena opened October 25, 1974, when Michigan State hosted Laurentian. That same season saw the first sellout crowd in Munn's history when the Spartans defeated North Dakota 6–2. A season later, in 1975–76, Bessone guided MSU to its best WCHA conference record of 20-12-0 before Minnesota knocked MSU out of the WCHA playoffs in 6-7 triple overtime loss. Minnesota, who had finished below Michigan State in the conference, received an NCAA tournament bid instead. Bessone announced his retirement effective at the end of the 1978–79 season after three straight losing seasons. Bessone coached his final game as head coach on March 3, 1979, when the Spartans defeated rival Michigan 5–3.

After Amo Bessone retired from Michigan State University, the MSU Athletic Director, Joseph Kearney, hired Ron Mason as the Spartans new head coach. Mason was named Spartan head coach on April 1, 1979, and spend the next 23 seasons at Michigan State. It was a rough start in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association for Mason as he compiled a record of 26-46-2 over two seasons. Michigan State joined the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) in 1981 and over the next few seasons Mason turned the hockey program around. The Spartans won CCHA playoff championships the first four straight seasons of the conference in 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985. MSU would win a second national title in 1986 when the Spartans defeated Harvard 6–5.{{cite web|work=Inside College Hockey|url=http://insidecollegehockey.com/6History/ncaa_86.htm|title=1986 NCAA Tournament|date=April 2002|access-date=March 23, 2011}}

In 2000 CCHA coaches and athletic directors unanimous voted to renamed the CCHA championship trophy to the Mason Cup in honor of Ron Mason, who was a key figure in establishing the conference in the early 1970s prior to his tenure at Michigan State. During the 2000–01 season Michigan State finished first in the regular season and advanced through the CCHA Tournament winning the first ever Mason Cup. That same season the Spartans made a Frozen Four appearance by beating Wisconsin 5-1 before losing to North Dakota in the Semifinal game.{{cite web|work=Inside College Hockey|url=http://insidecollegehockey.com/6History/ncaa_01.htm|title=2001 NCAA Tournament|date=April 2002|access-date=March 23, 2011}} On October 6, 2001, the Spartans hosted an outdoor game at Spartan Stadium against rival Michigan known as The Cold War. The school would set an attendance record for an outdoor hockey game as 74,554 fans attended.Hockey’s Book of Firsts, p.72, James Duplacey, JG Press, {{ISBN|978-1-57215-037-9}} The game ended in a 3–3 tie.

Mason led Michigan State to seven CCHA regular season titles and a conference-record 10 CCHA tournament titles. In addition, MSU under Mason made 19 NCAA tournament appearances during his 23 seasons with the Spartans. He coached MSU to five NCAA Frozen Fours, two National Championship appearances, and one National Championship. Mason coached two Hobey Baker Memorial Award winners, Kip Miller in 1990 and Ryan Miller in 2001.{{cite web|access-date=2008-03-31|url=http://msuspartans.cstv.com/sports/m-hockey/archive/msu-m-hockey-hobeybaker.html|title=Hobey Baker Memorial Award |publisher=MSU Spartans }}

Rick Comley was announced as Ron Mason's successor as head ice hockey coach at Michigan State University in March 2002. Comley led the Spartans to a tournament appearance in 2004, his second season as MSU's head coach. After losing to Northern Michigan in the 2004 CCHA Tournament the Spartans received an at-large bid to the 2004 NCAA Tournament. Third ranked MSU fell to second seed Minnesota-Duluth in the opening round 0–5.{{cite web|work=Inside College Hockey|url=http://insidecollegehockey.com/6History/ncaa_04.htm|title=2004 NCAA Tournament|date=April 2002|access-date=March 23, 2011}}

Comley's Spartans returned to the NCAA Tournament in 2006 after missing the NCAA Tournament in 2005. Comley guided MSU to a second-place CCHA finish in the regular season and a CCHA Mason Cup championship in 2006. Michigan State advanced into the 2006 Tournament with an automatic bid. The Spartans defeated New Hampshire 1-0 before losing to Maine 4–5 in the East Regional Final.{{cite web|work=Inside College Hockey|url=http://insidecollegehockey.com/6History/ncaa_06.htm|title=2006 NCAA Tournament|date=April 2002|access-date=March 23, 2011}}

The team earned an NCAA Tournament bid after finishing the regular season with a conference record of 15-10-3. Comley led MSU to defeat three higher-ranked teams en route to the national championship including No. 1-ranked Notre Dame in the Midwest Regional final.{{cite web|work=Inside College Hockey|url=http://insidecollegehockey.com/6History/ncaa_07.htm|title=2007 NCAA Tournament|date=April 2002|access-date=March 23, 2011}} In the Frozen Four the team defeated No. 4-ranked Boston College in the national championship game on April 7, 2007, by a score of 3–1 in a game that saw Michigan State score three unanswered goals in the third period.{{cite web|access-date=2008-03-31|url=http://msuspartans.cstv.com/sports/m-hockey/recaps/040707aaa.html|title=Last-Minute Tally Hands Spartans Third NCAA Title Michigan State scores three times in the final period to beat Boston College 3-1|publisher=MSU Spartans|date=2007-04-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070914001614/http://msuspartans.cstv.com/sports/m-hockey/recaps/040707aaa.html|archive-date=2007-09-14|url-status=dead}}
