In the 2015-16 season, Labanc set the Barrie Colts single season scoring record putting up 127 points.  In 2014-15, his 107 points was 5th all time for the Colts in a season, tied with Bryan Little who put up 107 points for the Colts in the 2006-07 season.

Labanc also holds the record for most assists in a season for the Colts with 88 in the 2015-16 season. In 2014-15 he put up 76 assists which is the 2nd most assists in a season for a Colt.

His 269 points for the Colts between 2013-2016 is the 4th highest point total in Barrie Colts history. His 188 career OHL assists is 3rd most in team history. Only Bryan Little and Daniel Tkaczuk have more with 189.
