Pierre Mondou, Canadian ice hockey player

Joseph Julien Claude Pierre Mondou (born November 27, 1955) is a former Canadian ice hockey forward.

Mondou played in the National Hockey League from 1977 to 1985. During this time, he played for the Montreal Canadiens his entire career. He won three Stanley Cups while with the Habs in 1977, 1978 and 1979. He passed the 30-goal mark three times, and scored 29 goals one other season. His career ended shortly after he was hit in the eye by a high stick from Ulf Samuelsson. He later served as a scout for the Canadiens, earning a Stanley Cup ring with the team in 1993, but his name was not included on the Cup.
