Dave Dryden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dave Dryden (born September 5, 1941) was a Canadian ice hockey goaltender.
Born in Hamilton, Ontario, the son of Murray and Margaret Dryden, Dryden played in the National Hockey League and World Hockey Association from 1962 to 1980, playing for the New York Rangers, Buffalo Sabres, Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Cougars, and Edmonton Oilers. On March 20, 1971, in a game between his Sabres and the Montreal Canadiens, Dave faced his brother Ken, the only time in the history of the NHL that brothers opposed each other as goalies. At the end of the game, the two brothers shook hands at center ice, a tradition normally saved for the playoffs.
Dave's best years came in the WHA, playing for the Cougars and Oilers. In 1979, he won the Ben Hatskin Trophy as the WHA's top goaltender, and the Gordie Howe Trophy as league MVP.
