Ken Dryden \u201969, the legendary Cornell men\u2019s hockey goaltender who still holds the program record for career wins (76) and backstopped the Big Red to its first national championship in 1967, died of cancer on September 5. He was 78.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKen Dryden was not only one of the greatest goaltenders in the history of hockey, but also a symbol of excellence, intellect, and leadership who represented Cornell with unmatched distinction,\u201d says Nicki Moore, Cornell\u2019s Meakem Smith Director of Athletics and Physical Education. \u201cHis impact on the game, on our university, and in communities throughout his homeland in Canada will endure far beyond the ice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dryden\u2019s interests and accomplishments were wide-ranging\u2014beyond his storied hockey career, he found success as an author, lawyer, politician, sports executive, and television commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Cornell, the 6-foot-4-inch Dryden compiled a record of 76 wins, four losses, and one tie, with a 1.59 goals-against average and .939 save percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He led the Big Red to the first three of its four consecutive ECAC Hockey Tournament titles (1967\u201369), two ECAC regular-season championships (1968, \u201969), and the 1967 NCAA title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His career goals-against average and save percentage still rank second in program history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKen Dryden was the quintessential student-athlete,\u201d says Casey Jones \u201990, the Jay R. Bloom \u201977 Head Coach of Cornell Men\u2019s Ice Hockey. \u201cHe was a great ambassador for Cornell and hockey in general.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

His impact on the game, on our university, and in communities throughout his homeland in Canada will endure far beyond the ice.<\/p>\nAthletics Director Nicki Moore<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After graduating from Arts & Sciences with a bachelor\u2019s degree in history, Dryden launched an extraordinary eight-year National Hockey League career with the Montr\u00e9al Canadiens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He won six Stanley Cups, five Vezina Trophies (recognizing the NHL\u2019s most outstanding goaltender), the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1971 as the Stanley Cup playoffs\u2019 most valuable player, and the Calder Trophy in 1972 as the league\u2019s Rookie of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1973, Dryden earned the first of his five Vezina Trophies after leading the league in wins (33), goals-against average (2.26), and save percentage (.926). He is one of only four goaltenders in NHL history to win the award at least five times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dryden stepped away from hockey in a contract dispute for the 1973\u201374 season, briefly retiring while earning a law degree from McGill University and working at a Toronto law firm, before returning to the Canadiens in 1974.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next five seasons, he anchored one of the NHL\u2019s most dominant dynasties, guiding the Canadiens to four straight Stanley Cups (1976\u201379) and capturing the Vezina Trophy each year. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During that stretch, he posted a record of 150 wins, 33 losses, and 30 ties, with a 2.13 goals-against average, .920 save percentage, and 28 shutouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dryden was inducted into the Cornell Athletics Hall of Fame in 1978 and the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983, both in his first year of eligibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His sweater number (29) was retired by the Canadiens in 2007; his number 1 was retired by Cornell in 2010, alongside the 25 of fellow Hockey Hall of Famer Joe Nieuwendyk \u201988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ken Dryden was the quintessential student-athlete. He was a great ambassador for Cornell and hockey in general.<\/p>\nBig Red men’s ice hockey Head Coach Casey Jones \u201990<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Dryden represented Canada several times in international competition, including in the 1972 Summit Series in which Team Canada defeated the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following his official retirement from the NHL in 1979, Dryden wrote half a dozen books, including The Game<\/a><\/em>, which detailed life as a professional hockey player and is widely considered the best hockey book ever written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

His other books covered everything from hockey to the Canadian education system; he also taught a class at McGill and had successful stints as a broadcaster, hockey executive, and politician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dryden was a TV color commentator at the 1980, \u201984, and \u201988 Winter Olympics, and worked with Al Michaels for ABC\u2019s coverage of the \u201cMiracle on Ice\u201d game between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in 1980 in Lake Placid, NY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dryden was inducted into the Cornell Athletics Hall of Fame in 1978 and the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983, both in his first year of eligibility. <\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dryden served as president of the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1997 to 2003, when he resigned to enter politics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was a success in that arena, as well, winning the 2004 federal election for Canada\u2019s House of Commons, and was named to the Cabinet as minister of social development. He was re-elected in 2006 and was a member of the House of Commons until 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dryden is survived by his wife, Lynda Curran Dryden \u201969, children Sarah and Michael, and two grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
