Though he was once named most valuable player in the World Hockey Association, his on-ice achievements never equalled those of his brother, legendary Habs netminder Ken Dryden. Dave Dryden is dead at 81
Dave Dryden’s kid brother won six Stanley Cups, defeated the Soviets in a legendary series, earned induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame, became a best-selling author, and won election to the House of Commons.
Brothers Ken Dryden and Dave Dryden in Uniondale, New York. Ken defeated the Soviets in a legendary series and earned induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame, while Dave is credited with developing the template for the combination mask-cage goaltending mask in use today.An ebullient, outgoing character, Mr. Dryden was regarded by teammates as a welcome colleague who eagerly signed autographs for fans.
He later served as chair of Sleeping Children Around the World, a charity which provides bed kits to impoverished children overseas. The charity was started by his father after he accidentally tripped over a sleeping child on a street in Pakistan. The father was named to the Order of Canada for his charitable work.
He was understandably nervous. Soon after taking to the ice, he made a save, and heard a voice calling, “Out here, Dave, boy.” He was about to pass the puck when he realized the voice was that of Dave Keon of the Maple Leafs.Mr. Dryden spent three seasons with Galt of the Ontario Hockey Association before he was pressed into emergency service with the Buffalo Bisons of the professional American Hockey League. He surrendered just six goals in four games.
Then, Mr. Vachon was injured by a shot to the groin. Mr. Dryden replaced him in the Montreal net. Mr. Imlach quickly countered with a Dryden of his own. The pair made hockey history as the first – and, so far, only – brothers to face each other in net in an NHL game. In this case, the younger Dryden emerged victorious.
