#7 Yvon Labre 1974-81
Yvon Labre was orginally drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins appearing in just 37 games before the Caps selected him in the 1974 NHL Expansion Draft. He would score the first ever home goal for the Caps in a game against the Los Angeles Kings.
Labre was a defensive defenseman and served as team captain from 1976 to 1978. Of course he remained involved in the Capitals organization after his playing career ended like you see him playing in the alumni game of the Winter Classic in Pittsburgh.
Labre has served as an assistant coach, color comentator, scout and even the director of community relations. His jersey number was retired on Nov. 22, 1981. In that 1974-75 season he had four goals and 23 assists for 27 points after the Caps scooped him from Pittsburgh.
In his seven years with the Caps he recorded 12 goals and 84 assists for 96 points. He also racked up 756 penalty minutes. 10 of his goals came at even strength while the other two were on the power play.
