Dunwoodie however still won the 2014 AIHL Skater’s Network Local Player of the Year award for his outstanding season return of 20 goals and 33 assists for 53 points while David also picked up the AIHL Most Penalized Player award for his staggering 151 minutes spent in the penalty box.[2][4]

5 February 2015, CBR Brave announced the signing of David and former teammate Tomas Manco from the Sydney Ice Dogs for the 2015 AIHL season.[5] The Aussie pair will add depth to the Brave roster and are regarded as very good signings given David won the 2014 Australian Player of the Year award while at the Ice Dogs for the 2014 season.[6]

9 May 2015, David made his debut for the CBR Brave in the round three clash over in Perth against the Perth Thunder. The Brave would go down in the match 3-4 after leading 3-2 close to the end of the second period.[7]
