Playing career
Périard began his junior hockey career with the Shawinigan Cataractes from 1997 until 1999, when he was traded to the Rimouski Oceanic for their Memorial Cup run. He was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the seventh round of the 1998 NHL entry draft but did not sign with the club within two years. Becoming a free agent, he signed with the Florida Panthers in August 2000 and was assigned to the Rockford Ice Hogs for the 2000–01 season. He then spent the next four seasons with various American minor league teams. In 2005, Périard moved to Europe, signing with the Nürnberg Ice Tigers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. He transferred to the Frankfurt Lions in 2009 and played the 2010–11 season with Adler Mannheim. After the 2012–13 season, he agreed to a one-year contract extension with Ingolstadt. On September 7, 2015, he signed a one-year contract with the Iserlohn Roosters, and in February 2016 an extension through the 2016–17 season was announced. Following that season, in which he recorded 15 assists and Iserlohn missed the playoffs, his contract was not renewed.
