He then moved to play on the Allen Americans in the Central Hockey League (CHL)[3] for two seasons including a loan assignment to American Hockey League club, the Oklahoma City Barons. Lavoie was voted Best of the "Best Rookie of the Year" in 2014. After 7 games with the Barons, he returned to the Allen Americans to help capture the Ray Miron Cup.

On September 23, 2015, Lavoie's rights were traded to the Indy Fuel. He signed a one-year contract with the club to remain in the ECHL.[5] In 71 games with the Fuel, Lavoie was amongst the team's offensive leaders with 38 assists and 54 points.

As a free agent in the following off-season, Lavoie opted to sign abroad in Sweden, agreeing to a one-year deal with second-tier club, BIK Karlskoga of the HockeyAllsvenskan on August 24, 2016.[6]

After four European seasons, Lavoie opted to return to North America during the COVID-19 pandemic, he agreed to a contract to resume his career in the ECHL with former club, the Allen Americans on November 4, 2020.[7] He added 6 assists through 12 games in the 2020–21 season before ending his contract after securing a contract in Sweden with second-tier club, HC Vita Hästen of the Allsvenskan on January 26, 2021.[8]
