Pierre Bouchard

Pierre Émile Bouchard (born February 20, 1948, in Longueuil, Quebec) is a retired former professional player with the Montreal Canadiens and Washington Capitals.
Practicing a tough but clean style of hockey, Bouchard played an important role, along with Bill Nyrop, as a steady defensive-defensemen to the Canadiens' offensive “superstar” trio of Robinson, Savard and Lapointe which dominated the NHL blueline in the 70s. Bouchard was on five Stanley Cup winning teams with the Canadiens.
He was picked up on waivers by the Washington Capitals in 1978 when the Canadiens made a mistake. Bouchard played several seasons with the Capitals and their farm team the Hershey Bears before retiring.
His father is Canadiens' defenceman and Hockey Hall of Famer Émile "Butch" Bouchard.
