  • Ken Dryden. the Game.Pdf
    O-Pee-Chee/Hockey Hall of Fame Frank Prazak/Hockey Hall of Fame PRAISE FOR THE GAME “A first-rate discussion of hockey by one of hockey’s first-rate players and first-rate minds …. Essential reading for anyone serious about hockey as an important part of Canadian life.” —Hamilton Spectator “The Game is a beautifully written, insightful, perceptive, revealing look at hockey.” —Toronto Star “We always wondered what he was thinking about whenever the play stopped and he struck his characteristic pose resting his chin on his goal stick. Now we know. He was composing one of the best hockey books ever written …. There is a ‘you are there’ quality to the prose as the author-goalie lets you see everything through his eyes, spicing his vivid descriptions with personal reflections and observations …. The Game succeeds both as an inside look at hockey and a portrait of an articulate athlete who knew when to quit.” —Winnipeg Free Press “The Game is a brilliant adventure into ourselves. It makes all other books about the sport look preliminary.” —Calgary Herald “A book about Ken Dryden, about Quebec, about the rest of Canada, and most of all, a loving book about a special sport.” —New York Times “The best Canadian sports book in years.” —Calgary Sun “An incredible memoir, a poetic journey through the life of Les Canadiens. It rises above being just a book about hockey. It’s a book about people, the fragile, delicate moments on the edge of fame and glory, failure and disillusionment. Dryden’s The Game is the complete hockey book.” —Windsor Star “As Dryden reminisces, we are presented with a portrait, in broad and vivid strokes, of the players who comprised the best team in professional hockey….

  • {PDF EPUB} Playing the Shots at Both Ends the Story of Ken and Dave Dryden by Murray Dryden Corbett's World '05
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Playing the shots at both ends The story of Ken and Dave Dryden by Murray Dryden Corbett's World '05. Ken Dryden could be Canada's prime minister one day. Some say: "Please, and soon." At the moment, he's the federal Social Development Minister, which doesn't surprise anyone; for he is actually following in his father's footsteps -- that of caring for people. The quiet, articulate former NHL goaltending great, lawyer, best-selling author, filmmaker, hockey executive, turned politician was credited with saving Paul Martin's troubled Liberal government from extinction with some sage advice in recent days. Martin adopted Dryden's words by promising Canadians a federal election once the sponsorship inquiry tabled its report. However, Dryden is much more comfortable behind the scenes; and abhors the loud mouths, which, seemingly roar, daily in the halls of Ottawa's Parliament Buildings. As a CP story points out , Dryden, who has a far-reaching plan for universal child care, is a man of vision with child-care centres eventually becoming community hubs. As for the cost of such an idea, Dryden would sooner leave that to the bean-counters. And as for seeking the PM's job, he told the reporter, in his methodical manner, "I don't know. I didn't know I could write, I didn't know I could play in the NHL . You find out." As for his deep social concerns, Ken, learned those from his father -- D. Murray Dryden. Both the Missus and myself had the privilege of being with the senior Dryden on a number of occasions in his Toronto-area home, where after pointing out where his sons, Ken and Dave, learned their goaltending skills in the small backyard pond, he would take people on a tour of the crowded Sleeping Children Around the World "headquarters." A number of volunteers would always be scurrying around as Mr.
