Aaron Douglas 'Diesel' Downey, (born August 27, 1974 in Shelburne, Ontario) is a Canadian ice hockey forward.
Aaron currently plays for the American Hockey League's Providence Bruins. Previously, he also played for Montreal, Chicago, St. Louis, and Dallas.
Downey is mostly known for his role as an enforcer, though he instantly shot into notoriety after knocking the Carolina Hurricanes Jesse Boulerice down with one punch on February 11, 2003; the incident left Boulerice with a mild concussion. After the fight, Stars color commentator Daryl Reaugh coined the short-lived nickname "Aaron 'One punch and he's' Downey."
On February 26th, 2007, Aaron Downey was placed on waivers by the Montreal Canadiens, being sent down to the Hamilton Bulldogs. On March 2, 2007 Downey was loaned to the Providence Bruins from the Hamilton Bulldogs for Phillipe Sauve.
