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]
