Dad built me a pro sized net out of two by fours and chicken wire because that’s what Ken Dryden’s Dad Murray did for him. I dragged that thing around for years.
The Game is the best book ever written about hockey and maybe sports (Ball Four by Jim Bouton maybe…). Ken autographed mine 29 years ago. He loved that it was dog eared and well loved. I still remember the sadness of when he retired. 6 Cups in 8 full seasons. Ridiculous stats.
Say hi to Dad, Ken. You were the best.
