Labrie played four seasons (2007–2011) of major junior hockey with the Gatineau Olympiques of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League scoring 48 points and registering 268 penalty minutes in 192 games played.

On September 18, 2009, the Dallas Stars signed Labrie to a three-year entry-level contract,[1] however he did not begin to play professionally until the 2011–12 season.[2] Labrie played the duration of his contract, within the Stars affiliates, the Texas Stars and the Idaho Steelheads.

On the off-season as a free agent, Labrie returned to the state of Texas in July, signing a one-year AHL contract with the San Antonio Rampage. As an affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche, Labrie would also attend the clubs NHL training camp.[4] After attending the 2015 Avalanche training camp, Labrie was returned to the Rampage without a contract offer to begin the 2015–16 season. Initially assuming the role as the reserve defenseman, Labrie became a regular feature on the blueline appearing in 50 games for 7 assists. On March 5, 2016, Labrie was traded by the Rampage to the Chicago Wolves for future considerations.[5]

As a free agent, Labrie joined his fifth AHL club, in agreeing to a one-year contract with the Hershey Bears on July 7, 2016.[6] On February 9, 2018, the Bears' parent club, the Washington Capitals, included Labrie in a trade to the New York Rangers AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack.[7]

On July 1, 2018, Labrie continued his tour of the AHL, agreeing to a one-year contract as a free agent with the Syracuse Crunch, affiliate to the Tampa Bay Lightning.[8] In the 2018–19 season, Labrie played as a fixture on the Crunch's blueline, contributing with 10 assists in 69 regular season games.

Having left the Crunch as a free agent at seasons end, Labrie agreed to a one-year AHL contract with the Belleville Senators on July 8, 2019.[9] During the 2019–20 season, Labrie added a veteran presence to Belleville's blueline contributing with 8 points through 43 games. On February 23, 2020, Labrie was signed to just his second NHL contract, agreeing to a two-way deal for the remainder of the season with affiliate club, the Ottawa Senators.[10]

At the conclusion of his contract with the Senators, Labrie as a free agent opted to remain within the Senators organization, returning to Belleville on a one-year AHL contract on October 29, 2020.[11]
