Playing career

Undrafted, Gazley played collegiate hockey for Michigan State in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association from 2007 through 2011.

He made his professional debut with Greenville Road Warriors of the ECHL to end the 2010–11 season, before later making his American Hockey League (AHL) debut with the Binghamton Senators during the 2012–13 season.

On August 7, 2013, Gazley signed an initial one-year AHL contract with the Hershey Bears.{{cite web| url = http://www.hersheybears.com/news/detail.php?id=4158 | title = Bears sign Brittain, Gazley to AHL contracts | publisher = Hershey Bears | date = 2013-08-07 | accessdate = 2013-08-08}}

After his fifth season with the Bears in 2017–18, and having enjoyed a 278-game career in the AHL, Gazley left as a free agent to sign his first contract abroad, agreeing to a one-year deal with Austrian outfit, EC Red Bull Salzburg, of the EBEL on July 12, 2018.{{cite web| url = https://ecrbs.redbulls.com/red-bulls-vergeben-vakante-stuermerposition-dustin-gazley | title = Salzburg sign American forward Dustin Gazley | publisher = EC Red Bull Salzburg | date = 2018-07-12 | accessdate = 2018-07-13 | language = German}}
