Leclair played his entire National Hockey League career with the Montreal Canadiens. He played three seasons with the Habs, from 1954–55 1956–57. He is credited with winning two Stanley Cups, in 1956 and 1957. In 1957, Jack played 47 games for Montreal, qualifying his name to be engraved on the cup. Leclair was sent to the minors before the playoffs started so his name was left off the cup. The remainder of his career was spent in the QHL, AHL and EHL.

Jack died of old age on June 14, 2011. His death was confirmed by the Society of International Hockey Research.
