That's an interesting story, but it's also a bit of an unlikely one.  Harkness
became the Cornell coach in 1963, while Dryden did not arrive on the scene
until the fall of 1965, as an 18-year-old freshman.  Harkness may have had
his eye on Dryden during the time he was coaching at RPI, but I don't see how
he could have recruited Dryden and have had the goalie follow him to Cornell.
