Playing career[]
Fabbro was originally drafted by the Seattle Thunderbirds in the 1st round (8th overall) of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft, but decided to play with the Penticton Vees of the BCHL to retain his NCAA eligibility.

During his sophomore season, Fabbro was selected for the Hockey East Second All-Star Team after coming in second among Hockey East defensemen in points.[5][6]
On March 27, 2019, Fabbro signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Nashville Predators.[7] He made his NHL debut a few days later on March 30, in a 5–2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets[8] and recorded his first career NHL goal on April 9, 2019.[9]
