Professional career
Dubé was selected by the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL) 56th overall in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. On March 24, 2017, he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Flames. After an early elimination in the 2018 playoffs, Dubé was assigned to the Calgary Flames American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Stockton Heat.

On November 7, the Flames placed Dubé on injured reserve to recover from an upper body injury he suffered on November 3.

On January 30, 2024, Dubé was charged with sexual assault after a 2018 alleged assault in London, Ontario.
