     Mason Jones is a Canadian born athlete, and grew up with the sport of Hockey. It's clear right from meeting him that the kid is passionate about the sport and no one can doubt his desire to win. 

    

     We managed to gather a ton of information from our time talking to former Coaches and Teammates of Jones and they all said relatively the same things about him. Off ice he is a very friendly and kind person who is able to take heat from the media and not let criticism affect his game. On ice he's always one of the hardest working skaters, constantly looking for weaknesses in his own game and training to improve on them. He's also not afraid to offer help to his fellow teammates and always attempts to strengthen them.

     

     Jones can be predictable at times however, if given the options between shooting and passing he'll majority of the time pass the puck to a teammate. His passing is one of the best parts of his game next to his skating and it's simple to summarize Jones as a Playmaker. His defense is another area of the game in which he could improve as his plus minus was in the negatives for the majority of the season.

      

      We had the chance to interview Jones himself a few times during, he was a very confident individual who never seemed to be down on himself or his teammates when in a rough spot. He told us that his mentality was to focus on the next game and making the playoffs, everything else didn't matter. He stated that he could have zero points this season and he'd make sure to be cheerful and supportive of his team, because he truly felt that positive energy makes his teammates play harder and when they play hard he does.

 

     Jones has taken many leadership roles in his young career. He was the captain of his High School team, Captain of the Steel during the junior showcase tournament and now Captain of The Philadelphia Reapers. His management always had faith in him and so far he has repaid that faith in full. 

 

      So yeah, you could summarize Jones as just a playmaker but you'd be wrong. Jones is a hard working, adaptable, reliable playmaker with leadership capabilities.
