Pitre began his hockey career in the early 1900s with the Montreal Canadiens. He was an offensive powerhouse, scoring a total of 82 goals in his first three seasons with the team. He was also known for his physical play and was often referred to as the "Battling Bulldog".
In 1910, Pitre was traded to the Montreal Wanderers, where he continued to be a dominant force. He led the team to the Stanley Cup in 1911 and 1912, and was named the team's captain in 1912. He also led the Wanderers to the NHA championship in 1914.
Pitre's career was interrupted by World War I, but he returned to the NHL in 1919 with the Montreal Canadiens. He was a key contributor to the team's Stanley Cup victory in 1924, and was named the team's captain in 1925.
Pitre retired from hockey in 1927, but his legacy lives on. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1945, and his number 3 jersey was retired by the Montreal Canadiens in 2008. He is remembered as one of the greatest players of his era, and his contributions to the game of hockey will never be forgotten.
