André Joseph Armand Pronovost (born July 9, 1936) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey forward. Pronovost played in the National Hockey League (NHL) and several minor professional leagues in North America between 1955 and 1972. Pronovost was a member of four Stanley Cup-winning teams of the Montreal Canadiens in the 1950s. André is often confused as being the brother of Marcel, Claude, and Jean Pronovost but is unrelated.

Playing career

[edit]

Pronovost began his career with the Montreal Canadiens in the 1956 season. He also played with the Boston Bruins, Detroit Red Wings, and Minnesota North Stars. Pronovost was a member of four Stanley Cup winning teams in 1956–57, 1957–58, 1958–59, and 1959-60, all during the Canadiens' dynasty.
