I always looked up to Ken Dryden. He revolutionized the position & rose to the occasion in big moments. Beyond his greatness on the ice, he was a remarkable person, and the hockey community will miss him dearly. My condolences to the Dryden family. Photo by my dad, Denis Brodeur

With a heavy heart, I extend my deepest condolences to the Dryden family. Thank you Mr. Dryden, for your service not only as a Canadien, but also as a Canadian. You helped me as a young goaltender and I will always be grateful for your thoughtful words of encouragement.

I had the privilege of having several cups of coffee at my house with Ken Dryden to discuss concussion research and the great game of hockey. His wisdom, integrity, and leadership left a lasting impression on me. Ken was a remarkable person and someone I admired greatly.
