Last season, Jones appeared in 46 games in Worcester registering eight points (2 goals, 6 assists) along with 19 penalty minutes.  Jones also played in two games last year in the ECHL with the Phoenix Roadrunners.

Jones played two seasons of collegiate hockey at Merrimack College (MA). In 2007-08, Jones led the Warriors with 15 goals and 124 shots and was second on the team with 22 points and four power-play goals.

The native of Kentwood, Michigan recorded the first goal of the game a team-high six times and was the Warriors' lone representative on the Hockey East All-Conference team, earning an honorable mention for his efforts.

Before heading to Merrimack, Jones played three seasons of junior hockey in the United States Hockey League (Green Bay Gamblers and Sioux City Musketeers) and North American Hockey League (Soo Indians).
