Tribute to a Legend

One of the greatest goaltenders of all-time has passed away, #29 of the Montreal Canadiens.

Ken Dryden.

Words can not describe the feeling of loss around the hockey world. Ken Dryden was the epitome of class and hockey royalty. His impact on the game of hockey and the community of Montreal can’t be overstated. A six time Stanley Cup Champion, all with the Canadiens and starting goaltender for team Canada in the 1972 Summit Series against the USSR, arguably the greatest Canadian team ever assembled. 1971 Conn Smythe winner, 1972 Calder Trophy winner, and Vezina Trophy winner in 1973, 1976, 1977, 1978, and 1979.

The hockey world mourns the loss of a true legend of the sport.

“Nothing is as good as it used to be, and it never was. The “golden age of sports,” the golden age of anything, is the age of everyone’s childhood.”
― Ken Dryden, The Game
