I've always liked Pierre Houde - very cool honor. Congratulations
This is greatly deserved.
I don't understand a lot of French, but have watched games on RDS for like 2 decades when possible because I love listening to Houle call games.

Ma parole!
well deserved
Voice, pace, name pronunciations, rich vocabulary and some signature expressions
kind of didn't really notice for years, then TVASports came around and I was like, omg Houde was doing a terrific job!!

Well deserved, this man is the voice of the Canadiens for me.
pretty cool that he gets recognition even outside of the francosphere.
i'm gonna miss him dearly. his voice was one of the ways i stayed in touch with French and Qc culture despite no longer living there.

One of the best to ever do it. Having Denis instead of Pedneault only made him even better.
Holy f*** that's so weird! But he would've been good after getting used to it.
He's definitely the voice of the Canadiens (and F1) for me. An absolute legend. Well deserved.
Coup d'théâtre!
Et le but!
Ma parole!
ET ON ROULE À MONTRÉAL!
Well deserved!
Having too listen to TVA really make is great realized how great Pierre is.
Kind of sad is brother couldn’t be a part of it.

Well deserved. Him and Michel Lacroix are the voices of the Habs
The only way for me to watch tv is F1 and habs hockey with Pierre Houde. Well deserved and can't wait for his calls next season! Bravo Pierre!
It’s weird, for me, the racing start that stuck in my head (and prolly because of the Villneuve magical season), was ET ON ROULE À MAGNY-COURS!
He's like Bob Cole for me, growing up my parents were huge Habs fans but of course you could only watch the Habs on RDS or TQS.
So most of the iconic moments of the regular season, even not knowing french, are in his voice until things got more accessible for the Habs in English.

Makes me realize I'm probably wrong, I think he says "au circuit Gilles-Villeneuve" when it's in Montreal.

I am old enough to remember when houde did games for tsn on an emergency basis. That was probably around the mid to late 90s.
I don't speak French but I loved listening to houde in French. He has that trait like Bob cole where he knows when to amp it up.
Few guys capture the feeling and energy of the game like houde.

There's a very, very, very short list of people that I would've liked to be, and Pierre Houde is definitely on it, probably more than once.
