In 2016, Dave played in the CARHA HOCKEY WORLD CUP in Windsor, ON with the Cornwall Seaway Blades. In the Round-Robin portion of the event, the Blades won 7-2 over Newmarket, 6-0 over the Michigan Sting, and 7-2 over HC Luzerne Switzerland. With 3 straight wins, the Blades crossed over to meet the 2nd-placed finisher from the other grouping, the Kanata Old-Timers. In the semi-final game, the Blades came away with a decisive 4-1 victory.

The Championship game showcased two undefeated teams- Cornwall and Hammarby, Sweden. In a tight-checking game, neither team could score, and the game inevitably went into overtime, where the Blades scored at 1:24 to claim the WORLD CUP title. For his efforts, Dave was awarded the MVP honours for the Championship Game shutout. In five games, Dave led all goalies by pitching two shut-outs and surrendering only 5 goals in the WORLD CUP tournament, for a 1:00 goals-against average.
