He has also been a professor at McGill University and a television producer, having co-created and co-produced the six-part CBC TV series “We Are Canada,” showcasing young, innovative Canadians to help celebrate the nation’s 150th birthday in 2017.
Dryden is intimately familiar with hockey on both sides of the border, having made his first important mark in the game with Cornell University, playing three years from 1966-69.
For the Big Red, he was a three-time All-America, All-ECAC and All-Ivy first-team student athlete. He set most of the school’s goaltending records while winning 76 games, losing four and tying one through his varsity career, leading his team to the 1967 NCAA championship and three consecutive Ivy League and ECAC titles.
With the Canadiens, Dryden played dozens of memorable games against U.S. opponents, his Stanley Cup championships coming against the Boston Bruins and the Chicago Black Hawks (twice each), Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers. He’s an insightful, sharp observer not just of the game, but of its ebbs and flows and trends.
