Playing career

Dal Colle was selected seventh overall in the 2012 OHL Priority Selection by the Oshawa Generals. [2] He was rated as a top prospect prior to the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. [3]

Dal Colle was recognized for his outstanding performance during the 2012–13 season when he was named to the OHL First All-Rookie Team. [4] He also won a gold medal with Team Canada at the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. [5]

On September 28, 2014, the Islanders announced that they had signed Dal Colle to a three-year entry level contract. [6] On January 1, 2016, Oshawa traded Dal Colle to the Kingston Frontenacs in exchange for Robbie Burt and four draft picks. [7] At the conclusion of the OHL season, Dal Colle joined the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, the Islanders American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate. [8]

Dal Colle began the 2017–18 season with the Sound Tigers after being cut from the Islanders training camp. [9] Dal Colle was called up from the Sound Tigers on January 11 [10] and made his NHL debut with the Islanders on January 13, 2018, against the New York Rangers. [11]

Dal Colle attended the Islanders training camp prior to the 2018–19 season but was reassigned to the Sound Tigers. [12] On January 3, 2019, Dal Colle and teammate Sebastian Aho were selected to represent the Sound Tigers at the AHL All-Star Classic. [13] On January 17, 2019, Dal Colle scored his first NHL goal in a 4–1 Islanders' victory over the New Jersey Devils. [14] He was reassigned to the Sound Tigers shortly thereafter only to be recalled again on an emergency basis on March 5, 2019. [15] In his first game back, Dal Colle recorded an assist off Devon Toews' goal to help the Islanders win 5–4 over the Ottawa Senators. [16] On March 8, Dal Colle's emergency recall status was changed to a regular recall. [17] The Islanders re-signed Dal Colle on September 21, 2021. [18]

After the 2021–22 season, Dal Colle was not re-signed by the Islanders, making him an unrestricted free agent. On September 15, 2022, Dal Colle signed a professional try-out with the Ottawa Senators. [19] He was released from the tryout on October 1, 2022. [20] With his options in North America limited, Dal Colle embarked on a career abroad, signing a one-year contract with Finnish club, HC TPS of the Liiga, on October 16, 2022. [21] In the 2022–23 season, Dal Colle made 36 regular season appearances with TPS, adapting to the European size rink with 4 goals and 15 assists for 19 points.

Leaving TPS at the conclusion of the season, Dal Colle continued his career in Europe by signing a one-year contract with Iserlohn Roosters of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), on July 27, 2023. [22]
