Where Is Pierre Bouchard Now? Canadian Ice Hockey Player

Canadian former professional ice hockey player, Pierre Bouchard, probably resides in Montreal Canada.

Bouchard played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Montreal Canadiens and Washington Capitals. He was selected by the Canadiens in the first round (fifth overall) of the 1965 NHL Amateur Draft.

Bouchard played an important role, along with Bill Nyrop, as steady defensive-defensemen to the Canadien’s offensive “superstar” trio of Robinson, Savard and Lapointe who dominated the NHL blueline in the 1970s.

Bouchard’s NHL career began after the Montreal Canadiens had missed the playoffs in the 1969–70 season, unacceptable for a franchise that had not missed a post-season play in 22 years, and among the changes that were made were to bring Bouchard along with Guy Lapointe up from the minors.

In his rookie year in 1970–71, Bouchard was part of the Canadiens’ team that upset the powerful, record-breaking Boston Bruins in the first round and went on to win the Stanley Cup.

Prior to the 1978–79 season, a failed manipulation of the waiver system by the Canadiens led Bouchard’s rights to unintentionally move from Montreal to Washington.

Montreal had intended to reclaim him, but NHL President John Ziegler interfered in the deal. Initially unhappy with the move, Bouchard played only one game in the 1978–79 season and considered retirement.

However, he returned next season to the NHL with Washington where he finished his career playing four seasons.
