Personal

Jones was born in North Vancouver, British Columbia. His father, Harvey, is the Vice President of Arena Operations with the Vancouver Canucks. He has a brother, Jordan and a sister, Jocelyn.[1] Jones felt that his father's position with the Canucks gave him some opportunites within the game that most other kids would not get.[2] He played midget with the Vancouver Northwest Giants of the BC Hockey Major Midget League.[3]

Playing career

The Calgary Hitmen selected Jones in the fourth round of the 2005 WHL Bantam Draft.[4] He joined the Hitmen in 2006–07 and served as the backup to Dan Spence for two seasons. He was eligible for the 2008 NHL Entry Draft but went undrafted.[2] Offered a try-out with the Los Angeles Kings, Jones impressed team scouts at Los Angeles' rookie camp, and following a strong showing at their main camp, the team signed him to a three-year contract before reassigning him back to the Hitmen.[5] He emerged as Calgary's starting goaltender in 2008–09; his 45 wins for the Hitmen broke the team record of 39.[6] He led the league in wins, tied for the lead in shutouts (7) and finished third in goals against average (2.08).[7] He backstopped the Hitmen to 12 consecutive wins in the playoffs, tying a league record,[8] before the Hitmen lost the WHL championship series in six games to the Kelowna Rockets.[9]

Jones was invited to participate in the Canadian junior team's summer camp, and earned a spot on the team as the backup to Jake Allen for the 2010 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.[10] He started one preliminary round game against Slovakia, winning 8–2,[11] and relieved Allen in the gold medal game against the Americans, though Canada lost the game in overtime and ended the tournament with the silver medal.[12] With the Hitmen, Jones finished with a league-best GAA of 2.21 and was named a First Team All-Star in the Eastern Conference.[13] In advance of his second consecutive appearance in the championship series, the league named him the winner of the Del Wilson Trophy as the WHL's top goaltender.[14] During the season, he surpassed Spence's team record for career wins,[2] and his 16 career shutouts are also a franchise record.[15]

The Kings assigned Jones to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs to begin the 2010–11 season.[16] He also played with the Ontario Reign of the ECHL for a time,[17] but after posting a 16–3–0 record, .939 save percentage and 1.93 GAA in his first 22 games for the Monarchs, Jones was chosen to play in the 2011 AHL All-Star Game.[18]
