As a Flyer, Howe was a three-time top runner-up for the Norris Trophy. However, his most effective duo came alongside the late McCrimmon; affectionately nicknamed "the Beast.
He also had a very quick defensive stick and outstanding hockey sense that more than compensated for whatever he lacked in terms of size.

He simply had to dip his shoulder and it was almost always the opponent who took a seat. LeClair was also blessed with a howitzer of a slapshot and would score about six to eight goals per season by winding up and blasting an overpowering shot past the goaltender from anywhere from the blueline to the mid-slot.

Today, Marsh serves as the president of the Flyers Alumni Association as well as the Flyers Director of Community Development and the head coach of the Philadelphia Warriors hockey team.
