Not many NHLers have come from Newfoundland, but Pichette was one of the ones that did.
He had played for the Quebec Nordiques for four seasons after going undrafted desite a solid junior career. His main weakness
was inconsistency, so he split his time with the Nords and the Fredericton Express of the AHL.
The waiver draft was the best thing to happen for Pichette, as he had his career year his first season in New Jersey, leading the
way in assists. He was on top of his game then, but it fell drastically the following season large in part to being knocked
unconscious on the ice by Blackhawk winger Wayne Presley. Save for 6 games with the Rangers in 87-88, he ended up not
playing in the NHL again.
He retired in 1990 after playing the balance of the season with the Halifax Citadels.
