Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2009-10: Labrie impressed at Traverse City and has impressed in Gatineau – especially in the playoffs. The knock against Labrie is that he’s small, even by QMJHL standards – if he continues to get stronger he’ll become a player who can make the big show way down the line.
2010-11: Labrie missed nearly the entire season with a knee injury. He returned for the final nine games of the regular season – notching seven points (pretty outstanding considering his career 0.22 points per game average coming into the year). Labrie broke his hand in the first game of the playoffs but didn’t miss a game. He helped Gatineau all the way to the championship series against Saint John, leading the playoffs with a plus-17 rating – which was coupled with an impressive 12 points in 24 games.
Talent Analysis
Unlike many QMJHL defensemen that are all the smallish size, Labrie is actually a defensive-minded defenseman. He is a tenacious player that does not back down from any challenge and will often initiate contact. He will go to war at any point on the ice and has a high level of determination. He has the smarts to succeed at any level but he needs to continue to get stronger if he wants a legitimate shot. Has a good skating stride. Sometimes is guilty of trying to do “too much” on the ice. Utilizes his wrist shot to get long shots on net from the point. Will use his body to block shots and passing lanes. Potentially, future captain material.
Future
Has another year of junior eligibility, but will try to crack the Texas lineup.
Potential: Third pairing defensive defenseman, like Stephane Robidas.
