Professional career

Montreal Alouettes

Lavoie was drafted 11th overall by the Montreal Alouettes in the 2012 CFL Draft and signed with the team on May 16, 2012 to a two-year contract. [1] [2] He scored his first touchdown on July 6, 2012 against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He finished his first season with 33 catches for 307 yards and four touchdowns and was the Alouettes nominee for the CFL's Most Outstanding Rookie Award. [3] After the season, on December 4, 2012, he signed a new, three-year deal that would keep him under contract through 2015. [4] He had a reduced role in 2013 due to injuries as the team also underwent head coaching changes where he only played in 14 games and had six receptions for 46 yards.

Ottawa Redblacks

On December 16, 2013, Lavoie was selected by the expansion Ottawa Redblacks in the 2013 CFL Expansion Draft. [5] He played in 69 games over four years for the Redblacks as the team's primary fullback, recording 86 catches for 796 yards and three touchdowns. He also had a touchdown catch in each of the Redblacks' Grey Cup appearances in a 2015 loss and a 2016 win. He had signed a contract extension prior to the 2016 CFL season that kept him under contract through the 2018 CFL season. [6]

He signed a two-year contract extension with the team on December 17, 2018. [10] However, he spent the entire 2019 regular season on the injured list due to a back injury and only played in the 2019 West Final where the Roughriders again lost to the Blue Bombers.
