Bill Masterson did not, apparently, die on ice. He died as a result of brain damage when his head hit the ice. While he received the injury that led to his death on the ice, he didn't die on the ice.
If the question is extended to include people who ultimately died because of injuries sustained while on the ice, then you should toss in Howie Morenz, who died as a result of complications suffered when he broke his leg in an on-ice injury.
Apparently there are 2-3 deaths every year in amateur leagues from a condition called commotio cordis, where a puck or something with a lot of energy hits the thorax at just the right time which can induce arrhythmia leading to heart failure. I believe there is/was a case of a career NHL minor-leaguer who played in Italy and hit an Italian player in the chest which induced commotio cordis, causing the player to crumple up and die not shortly after on the ice.
Never on the ice no.

Why do so many Sabre fans like Miller when he lets in 4 goals every playoff game?
It's also tough to say if a player died from injuries. Vezina died 2 months after collapsing in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates back in the mid-20s. Does that count? Some would say yes some would say no. I think what some have mentioned, on the ice, would be the determining factor. The one Minnesota Player dieing really wouldn't count either because he died of heart failure not an on-ice injury.Will Forsberg be out of Philadelphia?

Bill Masterton of the Minnesota North Stars didnt die on the ice but did die of injuries he sustained when he was bodychecked and hit his head on the ice in the late 60s or early 70s I believe.
