The 22-year-old blueliner has compiled 7 assists and 8 penalty minutes (PIM) while playing in all 19 games with San Antonio this season. He ranks 2nd on the team in assists and tied for 5th in points. Among Rampage defensemen, Jones ranks 2nd in both assists and points. He also played in 4 preseason games with the Coyotes in 2005, recording 6 PIM.

Jones enjoyed a successful collegiate career, playing four seasons at the University of North Dakota (WCHA). In 162 career games with North Dakota, he recorded 16-36-52 and 152 PIM.
