Yanni, the Greek composer, inspired the name Gourde. His parents recognized the artist’s name in the credits of a movie they saw when his mother was pregnant with him, so they gave him the first name, Yanni. 

On May 1, 2018, Gourde and his wife Marie-Andrée had their first child.

Gourde participated in 2003, 2004, and 2005 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a minor ice hockey club from Quebec City’s south side.
