Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the Hon. Ken Dryden, a Canadian hockey legend and hall of famer, public servant and inspiration. He was a 6-time Stanley Cup Champion, 5-time Vezina trophy winner, Minister of Social Development, and dedicated Parliamentarian.
Ken Dryden was the reason I became a goalie, although I never mastered his ability to lean on his stick let alone keep the puck out of the net.
His return to university at the height of his playing career taught the importance of balance in life. His post-hockey career demonstrated the value of public service.
Few Canadians have given more, or stood taller, for our country.
Ken Dryden was Big Canada. And he was Best Canada. Rest in peace.
@JasonGregor Thanks Jason for using your reach to share the facts. So much misinformation is being shared and the government keeps spinning this to make everyone else responsible but them.
@Palla003@puckoffchris@BigHeadHcky The Knights were no challenge- the kings were the real challenge. And the team was too banged up by the time they got to the Panthers.
