Biography

Lefebvre was born in Montreal, Quebec. As a youth, he played in the 1979 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Ville-Émard.{{cite web|url=https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf|title=Pee-Wee players who have reached NHL or WHA|year=2018|website=Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament|access-date=2019-01-15}}

Despite putting up impressive numbers with the Shawinigan Cataractes in the QMJHL he was never drafted by an NHL-team, possibly due to his small stature (Lefebvre is listed as 5 ft 6 in (1,68 m) and 160 lb (73 kg)).{{cn|date=January 2019}}

Later in his career Lefebvre has played in DEL, Serie A, Oddset Ligaen and Nationalliga B. At the beginning of his career he also played in France and Nationalliga A.{{cn|date=January 2019}}

In 2006 Lefebvre became an Italian citizen (he is married to an Italian woman) and played 2007 World Championship with the Azzurri.{{cn|date=January 2019}}
