""Ken Dryden was not only one of the greatest goaltenders in the history of hockey, but also a symbol of excellence, intellect, and leadership who represented Cornell with unmatched distinction," said Nikki Moore, Cornell's Meakem Smith Director of Athletics and Physical Education. "His impact on the game, on our university and in communities throughout his homeland in Canada will endure far beyond the ice.""
""At Cornell, Dryden compiled a record of 76 wins, four losses and one tie, with a 1.59 goals-against average and .939 save percentage, while leading the Big Red to the first three of its four consecutive ECAC Hockey Tournament titles (1967-69), two ECAC Hockey regular-season championships (1968, '69), and the 1967 NCAA title. His career goals-against average and save percentage still rank second in program history.""
""After graduating with a bachelor's in history, Dryden launched an extraordinary eight-year National Hockey League career with the Montreal Canadiens. He won six Stanley Cups, five Vezina Trophies (NHL's most outstanding goaltender), the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1971 as the Stanley Cup playoffs' most valuable player, and the Calder Trophy in 1972 as the league's Rookie of the Year.""
