Kenneth Wayne "Ken" Dryden, PCOC, (born August 8, 1947) is a Canadian politician, lawyer, businessman, author, and former NHLgoaltender. He is an officer of the Order of Canada and a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Dryden was a Liberal Member of Parliament from 2004, also serving as a cabinet minister from 2004 to 2006, until losing his seat in the 2011 Canadian federal elections to Conservative Mark Adler. Ken Dryden was inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.
Early life and education
Dryden was born in Hamilton, Ontario, on August 8, 1947 as the son of David Murray (1911-2004) and Margaret Adelia (née Campbell) Dryden (1912-1985), and brother of Dave Dryden (b. 1941), also an NHL goaltender. Dryden was raised in Islington, Ontario (then just outside Toronto).
Dryden was drafted fourteenth overall by the Boston Bruins in the 1964 NHL Amateur Draft. Days later, June 28, Boston traded Dryden to the Montreal Canadiens, along with Alex Campbell, for Paul Reid and Guy Allen, whom the Bruins highly valued. Dryden was informed by his agent that he had been drafted by the Canadiens, but did not find out until the mid-1970s that he had originally been a Bruin.
"[A goalie's] job is to stop pucks, ... Well, yeah, that's part of it. But you know what else it is? ... You're trying to deliver a message to your team that things are OK back here. This end of the ice is pretty well cared for. You take it now and go. Go! Feel the freedom you need in order to be that dynamic, creative, offensive player and go out and score. ... That was my job. And it was to try to deliver a feeling."
"Because the demands on a goalie are mostly mental, it means that for a goalie the biggest enemy is himself. Not a puck, not an opponent, not a quirk of size or style. Him. The stress and anxiety he feels when he plays, the fear of failing, the fear of being embarrassed, the fear of being physically hurt, all the symptoms of his position, in constant ebb and flow, but never disappearing. The successful goalie understands these neuroses, accepts them, and puts them under control. The unsuccessful goalie is distracted by them, his mind in knots, his body quickly following."
"For example, what it represents is for a territory like Nunavut, they would get about eight times as much in those transfers as the highest province would, P.E.I.,"
"As kids we knew whatever Canada was then it would be far greater tomorrow. That is the Canada I see today. That was the Canada born into me. Long before I ever wore the jersey, I wore the jersey."
"I'm running because the day after election day, I was mad."
"For 18 months, we had worked on something that mattered: a national system of early learning and child care. Then it was gone."
"My legendary speaking career began right here on this stage."
"It represents a huge new opportunity here,"
"What is it like to hear the words you're dumb, you're stupid? That comes to be their understanding of themselves."

TOUS SE RAPPELLENT LA LÉGENDAIRE POSTURE DE KEN DRYDEN, LE MENTON POSÉ SUR SES BRAS CROISÉS AU SOMMET DE SON BÂTON.
De la salle de classe, à la salle du conseil à la Chambre des communes, Ken Dryden a connu du succès dans toutes ses entreprises. Dans les 1970, il a fait carrière au hockey de la LNH est il est rapidement devenu le meilleur de son art -- possiblement le meilleur de tous les temps, diront plusieurs partisans.
Sélectionné par Boston à la séance de sélection amateur de 1964, Dryden a été échangé à Montréal peu après, faisant ses débuts avec le Tricolore à la fin de la saison 1970-71.
Après avoir disputé six matchs en saison régulière, Dryden est devenu l'homme de confiance devant les filets des Canadiens en séries éliminatoires. Les adversaires en première ronde étaient les Bruins de Boston, champions en titre de la coupe Stanley et l'équipe la plus crainte du circuit.
Sept matchs plus tard, les Bruins étaient en vacances, tandis que les Canadiens de Montréal devenaient l'équipe Cendrillon de 1971, tirés par le gigantesque finissant en droit de l'Université Cornell (6'4'' et 205 lbs.) jusqu'à la conquête de la coupe Stanley.
Avec son nom gravé sur la coupe Stanley et un trophée Conn-Smythe en poche, Ken Dryden a officiellement entrepris sa saison recrue l'automne suivant. Le printemps venu, il avait fait preuve qu'il n'était pas qu'un simple coup de vent!
Prenant part à 64 matchs, Dryden a signé 39 victoires et n'a subi que huit revers, affichant une moyenne de buts alloués de 2,24. Il a remporté le trophée Calder et a été invité à garder les filets du Canada dans l'historique série contre l'Union soviétique avant le début de la saison de la LNH.
Après les succès de la Série du siècle, Dryden a poursuivi sa domination chez les gardiens de la LNH. Il a remporté une deuxième coupe Stanley et un premier trophée Vézina en 1972-73.
Tous se rappelleront sa légendaire posture devant le filet des Canadiens, le menton posé sur ses bras croisés au sommet de son bâton, pendant que le jeu se déroulait à l'autre bout de la patinoire. Après un an d'absence en 1973-1974, Dryden a gardé le fort des Canadiens au cours des cinq saisons suivantes, avec un positionnement sans faute et des réflexes à la vitesse de l'éclair qui le distinguaient des autres cerbères du circuit.
La fin des années 1970 a appartenu aux Canadiens de Scotty Bowman. Le défilé de la coupe Stanley s'est déroulé à Montréal quatre printemps consécutifs entre 1976 et 1979 et Dryden a remporté le trophée Vézina à chacune de ces saisons.
Après sept années complètes à garder le but d'une des plus grandes dynasties du hockey, Ken Dryden a annoncé sa retraite au terme de la saison 1978-1979. Il comptait alors un trophée Calder, un Conn-Smythe, cinq Vézina et six conquêtes de la coupe Stanley à son actif.

Goaltender Ken Dryden did not play in the NHL during the 1973-74 season due to a salary dispute with the Montreal Canadiens; he joined a law firm in Toronto and played as a defenceman in the Lakeshore Commercial Hockey League (reporter: Larry Stout)
Kenneth Wayne "Ken" Dryden, PCOC, (born August 8, 1947) is a Canadian politician, lawyer, businessman, author, and former NHLgoaltender. He is an officer of the Order of Canada and a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Dryden was a Liberal Member of Parliament from 2004, also serving as a cabinet minister from 2004 to 2006, until losing his seat in the 2011 Canadian federal elections to Conservative Mark Adler. Ken Dryden was inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.
Early life and education
Dryden was born in Hamilton, Ontario, on August 8, 1947 as the son of David Murray (1911-2004) and Margaret Adelia (née Campbell) Dryden (1912-1985), and brother of Dave Dryden (b. 1941), also an NHL goaltender. Dryden was raised in Islington, Ontario (then just outside Toronto).
Dryden was drafted fourteenth overall by the Boston Bruins in the 1964 NHL Amateur Draft. Days later, June 28, Boston traded Dryden to the Montreal Canadiens, along with Alex Campbell, for Paul Reid and Guy Allen, whom the Bruins highly valued. Dryden was informed by his agent that he had been drafted by the Canadiens, but did not find out until the mid-1970s that he had originally been a Bruin.
