Like many hockey players in the World Hockey Association, Mark Howe did not receive much attention in what was perceived as the junior league of North American professional hockey. That being said, after his run with the Whalers (both in the WHA and the NHL), Mark Howe would have his best run in professional hockey with the Philadelphia Flyers, where he would assist him in becoming an entrant to the hallowed halls in Toronto.
With Philadelphia, Howe would be named to three First Team All-Star rosters, and in all of those seasons, he was the runner-up for the Norris Trophy. He would have six consecutive 50 Point seasons, and in the 1985-86 campaign, he would finish first in Plus/Minus with 87.
Mark Howe would be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2011. As for Philadelphia, they inducted him into their franchise Hall of Fame in 2001 and retired his #2 in 2012.
