Ken Dryden Biography

Ken Dryden is a Canadian icon whose multifaceted career spans professional sports, politics, law, and literature. Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Dryden rose to prominence as the goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens during the 1970s. Over an eight-year National Hockey League (NHL) career, he led the Canadiens to six Stanley Cup championships and earned numerous accolades, including the Calder Memorial Trophy, Conn Smythe Trophy, and five Vezina Trophies. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983.

Before his NHL debut, Dryden pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor of Arts in history from Cornell University, where he also led the Big Red to the 1967 NCAA championship. He later obtained a law degree from McGill University.

Transitioning from sports to public service, Dryden served as a Member of Parliament for the Liberal Party from 2004 to 2011 and held the position of Minister of Social Development from 2004 to 2006.

An accomplished author, Dryden has penned several books, including the critically acclaimed "The Game," offering insights into the life of a professional athlete. His contributions to Canadian culture and public life have been recognized with his appointment as an Officer of the Order of Canada and his inclusion in the NHL's list of the 100 Greatest Players.
