Al Michaels called the Miracle on Ice game with Ken Dryden in 1980 winter games

Michaels called Dryden very smart, a Renaissance man and a close friend.

Right after his Olympic assignment ended, Dryden took the bar exam in Canada and he passed with flying colors


Great hockey player. RIP. 

Here is my Ken Dryden story. After he was elected as a member of parliament he was greeting people at the subway station in his riding in Toronto and thanking them for their votes. He greeted me as I was about to walk up the subway steps and said “Hi, I am Ken Dryden. Thanks for your vote” and shook my hand. I replied “I didn’t vote for you but I’ve seen you play hockey. Nice to meet you”
