He was drafted in the first round, 21st overall, by the St. Louis Blues in the 2014 NHL entry draft, and has also played for the Detroit Red Wings and Anaheim Ducks
Growing up in Mississauga, Fabbri played youth hockey for the Minor Atom Mississauga Senators and Mississauga Rebels before being drafted sixth overall by the Guelph Storm during the 2012 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) draft. During his tenure with the team, he earned the Wayne Gretzky 99 Award as playoff MVP before beginning his professional career with the St. Louis Blues.
