Playing career
Undrafted, Jones played collegiate hockey with Quinnipiac University of the ECAC from 2010 to 2014. At the completion of his senior year as an Alternate captain with the Bobcats, Jones embarked on his professional career in signing a one-year AHL contract for the 2014–15 season, with the primary affiliate of the Edmonton Oilers in the Oklahoma City Barons on April 3, 2014. He immediately joined the Barons on an Amateur try-out basis to complete the 2013–14 season.[1]
In the midst of his second season with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in 2016–17, Jones was signed his first NHL contract on a one-year entry-level contract with parent affiliate, the New York Islanders on February 22, 2017.[2] In the final stages of the Islanders season, Jones received his first NHL recall on April 2, 2017.[3] Added to inject energy to the fourth-line, Jones made his debut that night in a 4–2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.[4]
