Playing career

Dubé was drafted in the first round of the 2013 Western Hockey League bantam draft by the Kelowna Rockets.[1] Dubé averaged 1.38 points per game in 40 games with the Kelowna Rockets during the 2016–17 season.[2] On March 24, 2017, he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Calgary Flames.[3]

For the 2017–18 season he was named an alternative captain of the Rockets.[4] That season, he recorded career-highs in goals, assists, and points and was awarded the Rockets President's Award as a player who made outstanding and significant accomplishments.[5] After an early elimination in the 2018 playoffs, Dubé was assigned to the Flames American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Stockton Heat.[6]

After participating at training camp, Dubé made the Flames opening night roster for the 2018–19 season.[7] He made his NHL debut on October 3, 2018, in a 5–2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks.[8] On November 7, the Flames placed Dubé on injured reserve to recover from an upper body injury he suffered on November 3.[9] Dubé returned to the Flames lineup on November 17 to play against the Edmonton Oilers,[10] and he scored his first NHL goal on November 21, in a 6–3 win over the Winnipeg Jets.[11] Dubé was re-assigned to the Flames AHL affiliate, the Stockton Heat on November 29,[12] but he was recalled a month later on December 29 after playing in eight games and recording eight points.[13] Dubé scored the game-winning goal in the Flames 4–0 win over the Winnipeg Jets in the 2020 Stanley Cup Qualifiers.

On August 26, 2021, Dubé signed a three-year, $6.9 million contract with the Flames.[14]
