Picard started his NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens in 1965. He later played for the St. Louis Blues and Atlanta Flames. Picard retired after the 1973 season, winning one Stanley Cup with Montreal in 1965. He is noted for tripping Bobby Orr after Orr scored the goal to give the Boston Bruins the 1970 Stanley Cup, helping send a jumping Orr flying through the air with his arms raised in celebration. This image stands as one of the most famous action shots in North American sports history.
Picard was a broadcaster for Blues games after he retired, and purchased Midway, a restaurant in Cuba, Missouri in 1976 (and later sold), then returned to Montreal until he died.
He had two children with Viviane whom were raised in the St. Louis area, a daughter Annie in Chicago, and son Dan (who lives in New Baden, Illinois).
