André Aubut was a Canadian ice hockey defenseman who was an All-American for Maine.^[1]

Aubut was a member of the second recruiting class for the Black Bears when they restarted their ice hockey program in the late 1970s. After a good freshman campaign where he was named ECAC 2 rookie of the year,^[2] Maine jumped up to Division I. Predictably, the team finished with a losing record, but only by a few games. Maine performed rather well as a new entry into ECAC Hockey and Aubut became the program's first All-American in 1980. His numbers improved and nearly equaled what he scored as a freshman the next season as Maine finished tied for 5th in the conference and made their first conference tournament at the D-I level. With so many players from the initial class graduating after 1981, the team tumbled down the standings and ended up last in their conference. While Aubut was still a promising prospect, he played just a few games for minor professional clubs before retiring. In April 1993, while playing pickup hockey in Montreal, Aubut suffered a freak injury that left him paralyzed. He died in August at Sacré-Coeur Hospital in Montreal.^[3]

In 1988, Aubut was inducted into the Maine Athletics Hall of Fame, the first ice hockey player so honored.^[4] He also received the most votes for the Black Bears' first All-decade team.^[2] As of 2021, Aubus is still the Black Bears all-time leader in goals (tied) and points by a defenseman.^[5]
