Playing career

[edit | edit source]

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]

Dal Colle enjoyed two seasons in the DEL with the Roosters before leaving at the conclusion of his contract to sign a two-year deal with Belarusian club, HC Dinamo Minsk of the KHL, on August 22, 2025.[23]
