[edit] Playing career
Jones played junior hockey with the Cobourg Cougars of the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League. He played for Clarkson University in the NCAA from 2002-2003. On July 24, 2003, he was signed as a free agent by the Philadelphia Flyers. Jones eased his way into the Flyers lineup, spending most of his first season with their American Hockey League affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms. He played with the Phantoms through the 2004-05 NHL lockout, and the next season, he split games between the Phantoms and the Flyers. He played 66 games in the 2006-07 NHL season, and started the 2007-08 with the Flyers.
On October 27, 2007, he boarded Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins. Bergeron was knocked unconscious and wheeled off in a stretcher, and then sent to the hospital. Jones was assessed a five minute boarding major and a game misconduct. He issued an apology during the second period of the game.[1] On October 29, it was announced that he had been suspended two games as a result of the hit.[2] Bergeron did not play for the remainder of the season.
