The Montreal Junior Canadiens were a Junior ice hockey team in the Quebec Junior Hockey League from 1933 to 1961 and the Ontario Hockey Association
His 49 points in 47 games helped the Junior Canadiens to a second place finish during his first season with the team. During his second year on the team that included future NHL talents Rejean Houle and Andre Dupont as well as future professional teammates Jocelyn Guevremont and Richard Martin, Perreault blossomed.

The Memorial Cup is the championship trophy of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL It was the first Memorial Cup win for Montreal since 1969. [4]
After Houle moved on to become the NHL's first overall pick, Perreault assumed the leadership role and compiled a 51 goal, 70 assist season, which led the team in both categories and second in the league to Marcel Dionne's 132 points.

Professional career
In 1970, two new franchises were awarded in the NHL — the Buffalo Sabres and the Vancouver Canucks. The 1969–70 NHL season was the 53rd season of the National Hockey League. The Vancouver Canucks are a Professional Ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Sabres General Manager Punch Imlach chose his favorite number, number eleven, for the roulette wheel spin to determine which franchise would have the first choice in the 1970 Entry Draft. George "Punch" Imlach ( March 15, 1918 – December 1, 1987) was an NHL coach and general manager Roulette is a Casino and Gambling game named after the French word meaning "small wheel" [4] Buffalo, by the luck of the draw chosen by a roulette wheel, in which the number "11" came up for the Sabres, won the right to the first choice in the amateur draft. This was the first year that the Montreal Canadiens did not have a priority right to draft Québécois junior players. The Montreal Canadiens (Les Canadiens de Montréal are a professional Ice hockey team based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. A Québécois or Quebecois (pronounced) or in the feminine Québécoise (pronounced) (plural Québécoises) is a native or resident of the Consequently, Perreault was available and taken first overall by the Sabres.
Because the Sabres were an expansion team in 1970, the broadcast crew was also inexperienced, and famously the television broadcast cut away one night as Perreault picked up the puck behind the net.

Edgar Lee "Ted" Darling (born Kingston Ontario, died 1996 was the original "Voice of the Buffalo Sabres " Ice hockey team for twenty-two
Perreault, wearing number #11 in honour of the roulette wheel's choice, became an immediate star. His immediate impact included a goal in the franchise's very first game, which was a 2-1 victory on October 10, 1970 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Perreault developed a reputation as a superb stickhandler. [5] He scored a goal on his first shift in a professional scrimmage. [6] Bobby Orr once said about Perreault: "His head and shoulders go one way, his legs go the other way, and the puck is doing something else. When I first saw it I couldn't believe it. "[7] His popularity and respect surpassed that of O.J. Simpson in a poll of Buffalonians about the best Buffalo athlete. Orenthal James "O J" Simpson (born July 9 1947 who has also been called The Juice, is a retired American football player, [5] Phil Esposito once said if anyone was to break his 76 goal, 152 point season records "It will be Gilbert Perreault.

Before the 1971–72 NHL season the Sabres drafted Perreault's Junior Canadiens teammate, Rick Martin, with their first pick. The 1971–72 NHL season was the 55th season of the National Hockey League. The two gelled as a tandem with each scoring 74 points. Late in the season the Sabres traded Eddie Shack for Rene Robert.
