The Montreal Canadiens have appeared in the Stanley Cup Finals 35 times.
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 father was Canadiens’ Hall of Fame defenceman of the 1940s and 1950s Émile “Butch” Bouchard.
From 1970 to 1975 Pierre was on the same team as Henri Richard, creating the unusual occurrence of a player having been teammates with both father and son in the NHL. Richard had played with Butch Bouchard in the 1955–56 season.
After retirement Bouchard went into business and broadcasting. He became one of the most popular NHL francophone analysts.
