Joseph Jean Louis Normand Baron (born December 15, 1957) is a Canadian retired ice hockey player who played 27 games in the National Hockey League with the Montreal Canadiens and St. Louis Blues between 1984 and 1986. He was also, for a time, a professional bodybuilder.
Born in Verdun, Quebec, Baron had played junior hockey with the Montreal Jr. Canadiens in 1976âÂÂ77 and then quit to pursue a career in bodybuilding. In 1983, he made a comeback, and the Canadiens signed him to a contract. He was later acquired by the St. Louis Blues, in exchange for cash, but only played in 23 games before being sent to the minors. Baron retired at season's end.
