The co-author of Forever Faithful<\/em> reminisces about the star goalie as a player, a writer, a sports-safety activist, and a man<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editor\u2019s note: Our other coverage includes a quiz celebrating Dryden<\/a> and his many accomplishments, <\/em>and <\/em>an obituary<\/em><\/a> adapted from the <\/em><\/em>Cornell Chronicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Jim Roberts \u201971<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first encounter with Ken Dryden \u201969 was in the fall of 1967. I was a freshman and he was the goalie for the Big Red men\u2019s ice hockey team, crowned national champions earlier that year. I made my first trip to Lynah Rink, and there was Ken, standing in the crease, leaning on his stick, while Cornell\u2019s relentless offense pounded away at the other end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the play came his way, he was always focused and sharp, calmly turning away almost every shot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the two years I watched the tall guy wearing number 1 play at Lynah, the Big Red never lost a game there\u2014and, frankly, few of them were even close. Ned Harkness\u2019s team was very, very good and Ken was a dominant force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many years later, in 2009, when I was the editor and publisher of Cornell Alumni Magazine<\/em>, Ken came back to campus for an event at Bailey Hall. He engaged in a conversation with basketball great and former U.S. senator Bill Bradley, moderated by sports journalist Jeremy Schaap \u201991.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the two years I watched the tall guy wearing number 1 play at Lynah, the Big Red never lost a game there\u2014and, frankly, few of them were even close.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I covered that event for the magazine, noting that both of them had excelled in sports but sometimes struggled in their political endeavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ken said that being an athlete had taught him how to accept criticism, which proved useful when he was running for office. In both sports and politics, he said, you can\u2019t be motivated by what others think of you: \u201cYou have to live up to your own expectations, or it won\u2019t be your own life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I had seen Ken on campus when I was a student, but I never spoke to him. What could I say?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first conversation came much later, four years after that Bailey Hall event. The Game<\/em><\/a>, Ken\u2019s classic book about hockey, had just been issued in a 30th anniversary edition, and I called to interview him for CAM<\/em>. Just as he had been in that conversation with Bill Bradley, he was wonderfully thoughtful, gracious, and humble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"the<\/figure>
\n

A year later, I retired from the magazine and had the first of a series of discussions with Cornell University Press about writing a book on Big Red hockey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we came to agreement, I signed on to write Forever Faithful<\/em><\/a>: Celebrating the Greatest Moments of Cornell Hockey<\/em>, with assistance from Arthur Mintz \u201971<\/a>, the voice of Lynah Rink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thought I had was to ask Ken to write the foreword. Unsure but hopeful, I reached out to him\u2014and he immediately said yes. Not long after that, I received a beautifully written account of Ken\u2019s years at Cornell and how playing hockey for the Big Red had affected his life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

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

\u201cWhen I graduated from Cornell in 1969,\u201d he wrote, \u201cit turned out that I was ready for much more than I knew.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I was writing the book, Ken spoke with me at length about his experience on the team, his memories of teammates, and especially about the 1967 NCAA championship game, which was one of the featured contests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

In both sports and politics, Ken said, you can\u2019t be motivated by what others think of you: ‘You have to live up to your own expectations, or it won\u2019t be your own life.’<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We stayed in touch as Forever Faithful<\/em> was coming together, and he was complimentary about the finished product when it was published in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book, which opens with Ken\u2019s foreword, closes with goalie Mitch Gillam \u201917 saying, \u201cKen Dryden stood in the same crease where I\u2019m playing. That\u2019s pretty damn cool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\""Forever<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We were in touch again after the publication of Ken\u2019s book Game Change<\/em><\/a>, about hockey player Steve Montador, who was diagnosed with CTE\u2014the degenerative brain disease that has been linked to head trauma\u2014after his death at age 35. Once again, I interviewed Ken for an article in CAM<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That book launched the last great campaign of Ken\u2019s life, against head injuries in hockey; he was passionate about changing the rules of the game to make it safer for players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the book came out, he spoke at public forums and wrote a series of op-eds. He would often send me links to the articles he had written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last time I heard from Ken was just four months ago. He sent an email linked to his remembrance of Bob McGuinn \u201969<\/a>, a teammate who had recently died, which was published in Canadian newspapers\u2014a touching piece with many details about their lifelong friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was Ken Dryden: brilliant, thoughtful, talented, considerate; a gifted writer and one of the greatest hockey players of all time. I am honored to have known him a bit, and proud to be his fellow Cornellian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
