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] and was named an alternative captain of the Rockets before the 2017–18 season.[3] 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.[4] After an early elimination in the 2018 playoffs, Dubé was assigned to the Flames AHL affiliate the Stockton Heat.[5]

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