Picked up in the second round of the 2019 draft, Jones posted average numbers in his first year in the OHL with the Peterborough Petes. He  had a  save percentage of .913 and  a goals against average of 2.75 in his final season in the OHL.

Last season, Jones spent his first professional season with the Iowa Wild posting a 3.50 goals against average and a .886 in save percentage which ranked him 40th in the entire AHL for goaltenders.

It’s not too early to throw the towel in on Jones as he will look to bounce back next season whether that be with Iowa or perhaps getting some developmental time with Minnesota’s new ECHL affiliate, the Iowa Heartlanders.
