EK's Jones Signs with NHL's Sharks

Former East Kentwood player Matt Jones, who played two years of high school hockey for the Falcons, has signed an NHL contract with the San Jose Sharks, according to this report. The 6-foot-4, 220 pound forward has played the last two seasons at Merrimack College in Massachusetts. He lead the team with 15 goals this season and netted 7 assists. He's been assigned to their AHL affiliate in Worcester and could play his first professional game this weekend.

Congrats to Matt. Couldn't happen to a better young man. Looking forward to seeing him play in the AHL and NHL some day.

Way to go Matt! You're so deserving. We're all proud of you! Congratulations to the Jones family.

Would his dad be the same Mr. Jones that criticized the behaviour of the Mona coaches and players after 30 years as an off ice official?
