At the end of his coaching career, Perron became a hockey analyst for different media in Quebec and appeared regularly on TQS's sports debates show 110%. He was often mocked for his incorrect use of proverbs and idioms and a book, Les Perronismes supposedly listing his most famous linguistic faux-pas was published in 2001. Perron sued the authors.
