After retiring he became a commentator for the Bruins, serving in that role for more than two decades.

Peirson was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on July 21, 1925.

His family relocated to Montreal when he was 10 years old, and he spent the remaining part of his childhood there.

He played for the Montreal Junior Canadiens when he was 18.

Peirson served in the Canadian Army during World War II and was stationed in the European theatre.

1945

After his stint in the military, Peirson was accepted into McGill University in 1945, and played one season for the McGill Redmen.

He was part of the team that won the Queen's Cup.

Peirson scored a goal and had an assist in the championship game, in which the Redmen defeated the Toronto Varsity Blues 4–1 in an upset.

During the 1945–46 season, Peirson was scouted by the Boston Bruins.

They extended an offer to him for a pro tryout at the end of the season.

Peirson, who was keen to earn some extra money for his education, accepted the opportunity and intended to return to school if his hockey career did not work out.

He began his career with the Boston Olympics, the Bruins farm team that were members of the Eastern Hockey League.

1946

Peirson played one season of university hockey with the McGill Redmen and was part of their Queen's Cup-winning side in 1946.

There, he amassed 15 points (including five goals) in just 10 games in 1946–47.

He was promoted to the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League that same year.

Meanwhile, the National Hockey League (NHL) was engulfed in a gambling scandal that resulted in the expulsion of several players.

This enabled elite young prospects like Peirson an opportunity to play in the NHL.

1947

He was signed by the Boston Bruins and played for two of their minor league affiliates until 1947, when he made his NHL debut.

Peirson made his NHL debut for the Boston Bruins on January 4, 1947, against the Montreal Canadiens at Montreal Forum.

He was the fifth of nine alumni from McGill to play in the NHL.

He was limited to only five games during his rookie season and did not record any points.

His first two seasons were split between the Bruins and the Bears.

1948

His playing time in the NHL increased to 15 games during his sophomore season, and 59 games in 1948–49.

In the latter season, he had the seventh-most goals in the NHL (22), the tenth-most points (43), and the eighth-highest goals per game (0.37).

1949

Peirson hit 20 or more goals in four seasons (1949, 1950, 1952, and 1954).

1952

His "legs sort of disappeared", and he had earlier suffered a broken right jaw in December 1952, which kept him sidelined for three weeks and necessitated his wearing a steel protective mask upon his return.

He finished his NHL career with 153 goals and 173 assists for 326 points in 545 games.

1953

After spending eight seasons with the organization and making two All-Star appearances and the 1953 Stanley Cup Finals, he briefly retired in 1954 before returning the following year.

He briefly retired at the end of 1953–54 season, in which he finished ninth in the NHL in both goals (21) and goals per game (0.31).

The Bruins reached three Stanley Cup Finals during his career (1953, 1957, and 1958), but lost each time.

1955

However, he reversed his decision in the middle of the 1955–56 season and returned on December 15, playing against the Chicago Blackhawks.

1958

He went on to play three more seasons and reached two more Stanley Cup Finals before retiring for good in 1958.

He retired for a second and final time in 1958, after injuries began to take a toll.
