Joe Colborne was born on January 30, 1990, in Calgary, Alberta. Colborne played one season with the Notre Dame Hounds before joining the Camrose Kodiaks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. In both of his two seasons with the Kodiaks, the club would capture the AJHL championship and reach the Royal Bank national championship with Colborne being named Canadian Junior A Player of the Year in 2008.
Colborne was selected in the first round (17th overall) in the first round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft by the Boston Bruins, but would attend the University of Denver for two seasons before turning professional. Following the completion of his second collegiate season, Colborne would join the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League for six games. The following season he was traded at the NHL trade deadline along with a first round draft pick to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for defenceman Tomas Kaberle. Colborne would join the Leafs AHL affiliate, but would make his NHL debut on April 9, 2011, in the final game of the regular season, recording an assist on a Phil Kessel goal. Colborne would spend the majority of his time in the Leafs organization predominantly at the AHL level, appearing in 65 games for the Toronto Marlies in 2011-12 and 2012-13, recording 39 and 42 points respectively. During training camp prior to the start of the 2013-14 season, Colborne was again traded. This time sent from the Maple Leafs to the Calgary Flames on in exchange for a fourth round draft pick. In his first season with his hometown Flames, Colborne appeared in 80 games and recorded 10 goals to go along with 18 assists. Colborne would set new career highs in goals, assists and points during the 2015-16 season, with 19, 25 and 44 respectively. He became an unrestricted free agent at season's end and on July 1, 2016, inked a deal with the Colorado Avalanche.Center - shoots L
