The Toronto native was chosen 20th overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in 1973 after scoring 66 points for the OHA's London Knights. After nearly two full years with the Richmond Robins of the AHL, he joined the Flyers for the last 20 games of the 1974-75 season and dressed for five playoff matches as the Broadstreet Bullies won their second straight Stanley Cup.

During the 1975-76 season, Goodenough registered 42 points then enjoyed a fine post-season when the Flyers reached the finals. In January, 1977 he was the key to a deal which brought defenceman Bob Dailey from the Vancouver Canucks. Goodenough's offensive totals dropped and his plus/minus rating suffered on the relatively weak club. He was relegated to the minors in 1979-80 then the next year was named the top defenceman in the IHL and a first-team all-star. Goodenough retired in 1983 after playing 58 games for the AHL's Binghamton Whalers.

Defenceman Larry Goodenough was an excellent puck handler who could use his mobility effectively in defensive zone coverage. In addition to a decent 242-game NHL career, he enjoyed much success in the minors.
