Labbe (LAB-bee) led the Rochester Honkers to a NWL Championship and received Manager of the Year honors in 2006 after posting a 50-17 regular season mark and perfect 4-0 record in the playoffs.

He became the first field manager to reach the 50-win plateau in the league and Rochester's one-season winning percentage (.746) in 2006 remains tops in the league's 17-year history. Labbe's 114-59 regular season record over three seasons (2005-07) in Rochester also tops the record books in terms of winning percentage (.659).

In his first year at the helm, Labbe guided the Honkers to the playoffs before exiting in the Divisional Series, losing to the Mallards. In 2006, he would enact revenge in sweeping both Madison and the Thunder Bay Border Cats to give Rochester its league-leading fourth championship.

"Our first priority in finding a field manager was someone who had prior success in the Northwoods League," said Mallards President Vern Stenman. "You would be hard-pressed to find a manager with Greg's experience and winning track record in this league."

Labbe currently coaches at Eagle's View Academy in Jacksonville, Florida, a hot-bed for baseball talent. The school has competed in the last seven 1A Final Fours, while winning three state championships. When he's not on the field, Labbe is in the classroom at Eagle's View teaching geometry, pre-calculus, and calculus.
