About this person

David Murray Dryden was a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender, who created and first used the modern goaltending mask, consisting of fibreglass and a cage. From 1962 to 1980, he played nine seasons in the National Hockey League for the New York Rangers, Chicago Black Hawks, Buffalo Sabres, and Edmonton Oilers, and in the World Hockey Association between 1974 and 1979 with the Chicago Cougars and Edmonton Oilers. In the 1978-79 season, at the age of 37, Dryden led the Oilers to the best record in WHA with 41 wins and became the first player in franchise history to win a league Most Valuable Player award. He was the only goaltender to win the WHA's MVP award. When the team made the NHL the following year, he played 14 games to close out his career.
