Labbe Returns to Iowa

January 1, 2017 - ECHL (ECHL)
Quad City Mallards News Release


MOLINE, Ill. - Defenseman Dylan Labbe has been recalled from the Quad City Mallards by the American Hockey League's Iowa Wild, the Mallards announced today.

Labbe, 21, scored three goals in 12 games after being assigned to the Mallards on November 22. The 6-foot-2-inch, 195-pound St. Benjamin, Quebec, native has not yet played for Iowa this season after scoring four goals and adding two assists in 54 games with the Wild as a rookie last year.

Labbe got his first taste of professional hockey when he scored his first career goal and recorded a pair of assists in 11 games with the Wild in the spring of 2014. A year later he played three late-season AHL games without recording a point.

Labbe, who was selected by Minnesota in the fourth round of the 2013 National Hockey League Entry Draft with the one hundred seventh overall choice, spent three full seasons and part of a fourth with the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Shawinigan Cataractes before turning pro. In 2014-15, Labbe finished tied for third among QMJHL defensemen in goals (15) and finished sixth among defensemen in points (51). He totaled 31 goals and 75 assists for 106 points in 193 career games with Shawinigan.

The Mallards return to action on home ice Wednesday night against the Fort Wayne Komets. That game and all Mallards Wednesday night home games this season face off at the special early start time of 6:35.

Single game tickets for all Mallards regular season home games- including Wednesday night's game- are on sale now at the iWireless Center box office, Ticketmaster outlets, ticketmaster.com and Ticketmaster charge-by-phone toll free at 1-800-745-3000.
