Lawrence J. "Izzy" Goodenough (born January 19, 1953) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman who played six seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Philadelphia Flyers and Vancouver Canucks. He won the Stanley Cup with Philadelphia in 1975.
Goodenough was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the second-round (20th overall) of the 1973 NHL Amateur Draft. He spent most of his first two professional seasons with the Richmond Robins, the Flyers' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate. He was called up to the Flyers late in the 1974–75 season and paired with Ted Harris. Goodenough got his name engraved on the Stanley Cup as the Flyers won their second consecutive championship, defeating the Buffalo Sabres 4–2 in the Stanley Cup Finals. Goodenough played in games four and five of the series, assisting on two second period goals in the latter.
The 1975–76 season was Goodenough's best NHL season, recording career highs across the board. He scored 8 goals and assisted on 34 others for a total of 42 points in 77 games. He also finished with a plus-minus of +45. The Flyers returned to the Finals but were swept by the Montreal Canadiens in four games. Goodenough played in all 16 Flyers playoff games and set a then NHL rookie record for most points in a playoff season (14).
