The Ice Hogs are an affiliate of the six-time Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks.
From the release above:
“Aubrun is the only NCAA Division III player to sign with an AHL team so far this year and is one of just six total collegiate goaltenders that have signed with professional teams.
Aubrun’s signing with the IceHogs comes after an unprecedented senior season where he broke five NCAA Division III records, highlighted by carrying a nine game, 572:31 consecutive shutout streak into the NCAA Tournament before it was canceled due to COVID-19. ”
He was named the Division III Men’s Hockey Player of the Year as well.
