Dobeš committed to play college ice hockey for the Ohio State University beginning in the 2021–22 season.

Dobeš was selected by the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL) 146th overall in the fifth round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. On March 31, 2023, Dobeš signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Canadiens.[3] After the Buckeyes' season finished, Dobeš joined Montreal's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Laval Rocket, but did not see any playing time.[4] He attended the Canadiens 2023 training camp but was assigned to Laval to start the 2023–24 season.[5]
