At the 1999 Canada Winter Games in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Labonte was part of the silver medal winning team.[1]
Labonté was one of two goaltenders playing for the Canadian women's hockey team in the 2006 Turin olympics. In 2010, she served as the third goaltender for the gold medal winning Canadian women's team.[2] Prior to this she played for the Montreal Axion and Laval Le Mistral, Teams of the National Women's Hockey League.[3]
She was one of the few women to play Major Junior hockey, appearing in 28 games with the Acadie-Bathurst Titan of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League between 1999 and 2000.[4] She competed for Team Quebec at the 1999 Canada Winter Games.[5] She was a member of the Montreal Axion in 2004-05, and one of her teammates was fellow Olympian Gina Kingsbury.
On December 31, 2010, Labonte required only 13 saves to post her 59th career shutout with McGill as the Martlets defeated the nationally ranked fifth overall Alberta Pandas by a 3-0 mark in the final game of the Bisons Holiday Classic tournament at Max Bell Arena. In the game, the Martlets held a 31-13 edge in shots. Gillian Ferrari was credited with the game-winner on the power-play at 5:49 of the first period. Jasmine Sheehan, a fifth-year defender scored the second goal of the game. Logan Murray, a freshman from Calgary, scored the last goal of the contest.[6] In an October 29, 2011 contest against the Montreal Carabins, Ariane Barker scored on Labonte with 71 seconds left in a 3-2 win versus McGill. Labonte took the loss for the Martlets, giving her a 69-2 overall record in her CIS career.[7] It marked the Martlets first loss to a Quebec conference opponent for the first time in 108 games.[8]
