Proof of his consistency is that he can claim scoring the benchmark 20 or more goals in a season with five different clubs. This also included 7 "Hat Trick" games. He was a member of four Stanely Cup winners with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Ed played for six teams starting with the New York Rangers, then Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, Los Angeles Kings, Buffalo Sabres, Pittsburgh Penguins and back to Toronto, where he retired from the NHL in 1975.

Today, through his public appearances for fund raising activities, speaking dates and commercials, he remains one of the most recognized faces and voices across Canada.

Ed is a Director of the NHL Oldtimers' Association, a non-profit organization formed by former players that assists retired players and their families in need. He also referees at Oldtimers' Hockey Challenge games.

Ed recently became a spokesman for the Prostate Cancer Foundation as they attemp to create more awareness of the disease and the importance of tests for early detection.
