[edit]Juniors and early life
[edit]As a youth, Labrie played in the 2000 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Baie-Comeau.[2]
Labrie left hockey at the age of 17 when he was cut from the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.[3] He worked the night shift at a convenience store and worked at a restaurant as a chef's assistant. Labrie found it within himself to restart his hockey career completely, first playing in a weekend rec league, then Junior A, Juniors, the AHL, and finally making it to the NHL.[4]
Professional
[edit]
On January 7, 2012, Labrie made his NHL debut playing with the Tampa Bay Lightning in a 3–1 defeat on the road against the Montreal Canadiens.[5] He later recorded his first NHL point, an assist, in a victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on January 21, 2012.[6]
On July 1, 2014, Labrie signed a one-year contract as a free agent with the Chicago Blackhawks.[7] They assigned him to their AHL-affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs on September 30, 2014. In the 2014-15 season, Labrie added a veteran presence in producing 16 points in 60 games. On June 18, 2015, Labrie was re-signed to a one-year AHL contract to remain with the IceHogs.[8]
In the following off-season, Labrie opted to remain within the Blackhawks organization, agreeing to another one-year, two-way NHL contract on July 1, 2016.[9]
On July 1, 2017, Labrie signed as a free agent to a one-year, two-way contract with the Nashville Predators for the 2017–18 season.[10] On February 26, 2018, Labrie along with Trevor Murphy was traded by the Predators to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for Tyler Gaudet and John Ramage.[11] He was immediately assigned and played out the remainder of the season with affiliate, the Tucson Roadrunners.[citation needed]
As a free agent in the following off-season, Labrie agreed to his first ECHL contract, signing a one-year deal with the Wichita Thunder on August 15, 2018.[12] Labrie contributed with 47 points through 60 games with the Thunder before signing a tryout with Rockford IceHogs of the AHL to end the season.
In the following off-season, Labrie opted to pursue a contract in Europe for the first time in his career, accepting an initial try-out contract with German club, Eisbären Berlin of the DEL, on July 26, 2019[13] which he later secured a one-year contract for the 2019–20 DEL season after the pre-season games.[14]
Following two seasons in Germany, Labrie opted to return to North America for the 2021–22 season, signing a professional try-out contract, after making the opening night roster with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL on October 15, 2021.[15] He posted 2 goals and 8 points through 21 games before leaving the team after securing a two-year AHL contract with former team, the Syracuse Crunch, on January 7, 2022.[16]
Prior to the commencement of the 2022–23 season, Labrie was signed to a one-year, two-way NHL contract with the Lightning on October 9, 2022.[17]
