Hague was drafted by the Mississauga Steelheads in the second round of the 2014 OHL Draft.[1] Hague was later drafted 34th overall by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.[2]
Hague signed a three year entry level contract with the Golden Knights on September 29, 2017, and attended their training camp before rejoining the Steelheads for the 2017–18 season.[3] Following a 2017–18 season where Hague led his team in scoring and set a Steelhead single season record for defencemen (78 points), Hague was awarded the Max Kaminsky Trophy, which is awarded to the OHL's Most Outstanding Defenceman of the Year.[4] On April 8, following the Steelheads elimination from the 2018 OHL Playoffs, the Golden Knights assigned him to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Chicago Wolves.[5]
On January 21, 2020, Hague scored his first career NHL goal against the Boston Bruins on goaltender Jaroslav Halák.[6]
