Early life

Born to Lisa and Joe Dugan, Jack's father was a hockey player at both McQuaid Jesuit High School and Washington & Jefferson College. Growing up in Rochester, he often attended collegiate ice hockey matches at the Rochester Institute of Technology with his family.

Amateur

Dugan grew up in Rochester and played Tier 1 youth hockey with the Rochester Monarchs before entering high school. He spent two seasons playing for McQuaid Jesuit High School, where his father worked as an English teacher. Although he received offers from the Ontario Hockey League, Dugan chose to preserve his NCAA eligibility. During his junior year, he contributed to McQuaid’s Division 1 state championship victory by scoring 65 points over 24 games and was honored as the 2015 New York High School Player of the Year. Following that season, he transferred to the Northwood School and earned a place on the U.S. High School All USA Hockey Third Team. In his senior year, Dugan committed to join Providence College after completing a season in the United States Hockey League.

Collegiate

In his sophomore year at Providence College, Dugan led all NCAA players in scoring with 52 points. His outstanding performance earned him spots on both the AHCA First All-American Team and the Hockey East First All-Star Team. Additionally, he was named a finalist for the prestigious Hobey Baker Award. In the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Dugan was selected 142nd overall by the Vegas Golden Knights.

Professional

On May 11, 2020, Dugan signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Vegas Golden Knights, marking the end of his collegiate career.

After completing his entry-level deal, Dugan entered free agency and secured a one-year two-way contract with the New Jersey Devils on July 13, 2022. He was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, where he tallied 11 goals and 27 points across 51 games in the 2022–23 season. On March 10, 2023, he was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for Zack Hayes.

Following two successful offensive campaigns in the ECHL with the Fort Wayne Komets, Dugan embarked on an international path by signing a one-year contract with Germany’s DEL2 club Bietigheim Steelers on May 29, 2025.
