The Norfolk Admirals have signed forward Pierre-Cedric Labrie ("PEE-air SEHD-rihk lah-BREE") to a two-year Standard Player's Contract (SPC), Admirals General Manager Julien BriseBois announced today.

Labrie, 6-2, 212 pounds, has appeared in 18 games with the Admirals this season after signing a Professional Tryout Contract (PTO) on October 14, 2010. He has posted three goals and nine points with a plus-6 rating. Labrie leads the Admirals with 62 penalty minutes.

Labrie is a four-year veteran of the American Hockey League. He split the 2009-10 season between the Manitoba Moose and Peoria Rivermen.
