Details

There is a ERROR on the back of this Jean Pronovost 1969-70 O-Pee-Chee rookie card. His birthplace should read Shawinigan Falls, Quebec not Shawinigan Falls, Ont.

Jean Pronovost’s rookie 1968-69 season with the Pittsburgh Penguins was the only time he wouldn’t surpass the 20 goal plateau over his NHL career, with exception of the 1981-82 campaign when he played just ten games before retiring. He would reach the 40 goal mark four times and became the first Penguin to score 50 with 52 goals during the 1975-76 NHL season. Pierre Larouche would also reach 50 for Pittsburgh, just a few games after Pronovost.

As a rookie with Pittsburgh, he scored the game winning goal in game three of the opening playoff round against the Oakland Seals. At 11:38, Jean scored on Oakland goalie Gary Smith with assists to Dunc McCallum and Keith McCreary to make the score 3-1 for the Pens. Pittsburgh held on for a 5-2 win and went on to sweep the Seals in the series.

With the Oklahoma City Blazers, Pronovost won a CPHL championship in 1966-67, fresh off a junior career with the Niagara Falls Flyers. The Blazers were led by Wayne Cashman, Ron Buchanan and Terry Crisp with Gerry Cheevers playing in goal for all eleven games in the playoffs.

Between 1968-69 and 1981-82, Jean Pronovost played 998 regular season and 35 playoff games in the National Hockey League with the Penguins, Atlanta Flames and Washington Capitals. He represented Canada at both the 1977 and 1978 IIHF World Championships.
