Jason LaBarbera is a Canadian goalie on the Phoenix Coyotes.

LaBarbera was drafted by the New York Rangers in 1998, where he played 5 games over two seasons. He was signed by Los Angeles in 2005, and in 2007, he got his first chance to play regularly, winning 17 of 42 starts and posting a 3.00 GAA. He was traded to Vancouver midway through the 2008-09 season, after both starter Roberto Luongo and backup Curtis Sanford were injured. LaBarbera started 8 games for the Canucks, going 3-2 with a 2.66 GAA and a .915 save percentage. In the 2009 offseason, Vancouver let him go unsigned, and Phoenix picked him up to backup Ilya Bryzgalov.
