[edit] Playing Career

Aubin was drafted in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft, 7th Round, 161st Overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins. He spent his junior years playing in the QMJHL, playing for the Drummondville Voltigeurs and the Granby Bisons. Until 1999, Aubin was mostly playing for the NHL's farm league, having only played one NHL game for the Colorado Avalanche. He spent time with the Hampton Roads Admirals of the ECHL and in the AHL with the Syracuse Crunch and the Hershey Bears. After playing 15 more regular season games and 17 playoff games for Colorado, Aubin moved to the Columbus Blue Jackets, and it was with the Blue Jackets where Aubin had his best season yet, scoring 13 goals and 17 assists for 30 points and only missed one game the entire season. After another season with Columbus he was brought back to Colorado, but after just one season, Aubin was eventually placed on the waivers. Aubin joined the Atlanta Thrashers in 2003-04 and scored 25 points, 5 short of his NHL career best in point-scoring.
