following a successful season of senior hockey with the senior Port-aux-Basque Mariners. After scoring 80 goals and 148 points in just 57 games, he was signed by the NHL
's Detroit Red Wings
and finished the end of the 1989–90 season with their farm club, the Adirondack Red Wings
. McDougall was named to the ECHL All-Star First Team in 1990. He appeared in 2 games for the parent club the following season after posting a 99 point season with the Adirondack Red Wings.
Prior to his season of senior hockey McDougall spent one season in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, but what a season it was. He had one of the best ever seasons a junior "A" hockey player can have in the 1986-87 season with the Humboldt Broncos. After a season of Junior "B" hockey in which he scored 45 goals and 132 points in 42 games for the Streetsville Derbys, the 20 year old decided to continue his hockey career out west with the Broncos.
McDougall made life miserable for SJHL goaltenders that year. He was the top scorer collecting a record 83 goals and 104 assists for a record 187 points. He did that in 61 games meaning he averaged over three points a game. Of his 83 goals, 27 of them came on the power play while nine were shorthanded.
The Broncos hosted the Centennial Cup that year and thanks to McDougall they got to the finals before being beaten by the Richmond Sockeyes of the BCJHL. He showed everyone at that tournament though that his regular season performance was no fluke as he had 11 points in four games and was named the tournament’s all-star center.
McDougall was traded to the Edmonton Oilers
in exchange for Max Middendorf
in February 1992, and ultimately made his hockey mark with their farm team, the AHL Cape Breton Oilers

championship for Cape Breton. McDougall was awarded with the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy for Most Valuable Player during the AHL playoffs. To this day, his AHL records for goals, assists, and points in a single playoff season still stand, and his total of 3.25 points per game, is more than was ever matched in the NHL. Wayne Gretzky holds the NHL record with 47 points in a single playoff season.
McDougall spent the following season in the Tampa Bay Lightning
organization, appearing in 22 games with the parent club while scoring 3 goals and 3 assists. He then spent the next 8 seasons playing with various pro teams in Italy
, Switzerland
, and Germany
