While being raised in Rochester, Dugan played Tier 1 youth hockey for the Rochester Monarchs program before entering high school.[5] Dugan spent two seasons at McQuaid Jesuit High School where his father served as an English teacher.[3] Although he was offered opportunities within the Ontario Hockey League, Dugan chose to maintain his NCAA eligibility.[6] During his junior year at McQuaid, he helped them win the Division 1 state championship after he tallied 65 points through 24 games. As a result of his play, Dugan was named the 2015 New York High School Player of the Year.[5] Following the 2014–15 season, Dugan transferred to the Northwood School in Lake Placid, New York, where he was named to the United States High School All USA Hockey Third Team.[3] In his senior year, Dugan committed to play for Providence College following a season in the United States Hockey League.[7]

During his sophomore season, Dugan led the NCAA in scoring with 52 points and was named to the AHCA First All-American Team and the Hockey East First All-Star Team.[8][9] He was also one of the finalists for the Hobey Baker Award.[9] Dugan was selected 142nd overall by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.[10]

Professional

On May 11, 2020, Dugan concluded his collegiate career as he was signed by the Vegas Golden Knights to a two-year, entry-level contract.[11]

Released as a free agent from the Golden Knights following his entry-level contract, Dugan agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the New Jersey Devils on July 13, 2022.[12] Assigned to begin the 2022-23 season in the AHL with affiliate, the Utica Comets, Dugan posted 11 goals and 27 points in 51 regular season games.
