Jean-Sébastien Aubin (born July 19, 1977 in Montreal, Quebec) is a professional ice hockey goaltender who is a member of the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League.

Playing career

Aubin played his junior career in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, following in the footsteps of so many other Quebec-born goaltenders. He played for three different teams, spending the most time with the Sherbrooke Faucons. He was drafted in the third round of the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, 76th overall, by the Pittsburgh Penguins. His professional career began in the East Coast Hockey League, but he worked his way on to the Penguins' farm team, and then into the NHL itself.

Aubin played parts of six seasons with Pittsburgh, including one as their starting goaltender, before being released by them. He then signed a two-way contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He played his first game with the Maple Leafs on March 26, 2006, making 36 saves and winning the game 4–3. He recorded a shutout in only his third game with the Maple Leafs, against the Buffalo Sabres in a 7–0 victory on home ice.

After spending the majority of the 2007–2008 Season with the Los Angeles Kings, he was traded to the Anaheim Ducks at the 2008 trading deadline for a 7th round pick. It was the first-ever transaction involving the two geographic- and Pacific Division-rival clubs. During this same season, Aubin was featured in an Amp Energy Drink commercial, where he was in a Yo Momma "shootout" against Buffalo Sabres Goalie Ryan Miller.
