Dave Dryden (born September 5, 1941) is a retired Canadian goaltender. Dave Dryden serves the distinction of creating (as well as being the first goaltender to employ) the modern day goaltending mask consisting of a fiberglass mask with a cage. Dave's best years came in the WHA, playing for the Cougars and Oilers. He was the goalie that Wayne Gretzky scored his first professional goal against. In 1979, he won the Ben Hatskin Trophy as the WHA's top goaltender, and the Gordie Howe Trophy as league MVP.
