History
Blair Jones was involved in an early season trade from Red Deer to Moose Jaw but while he was with the Rebels, the Craik, Saskatchewan native was an important part of the team’s offense. During the stretch of the year when Dion Phaneuf was sidelined by injury, it was Jones that anchored the power play chiefly because of the powerful shot he possesses. Jones played alongside Colin Fraser and Roman Wick while in Red Deer, getting a lot of experience playing a role on the top forward unit.
Jones recorded 25 points in 39 games with Red Deer and then another 25 more in 25 contests for the Warriors, ending the year with 50 points. It was not by coincidence that Moose Jaw began experiencing a lot more success after their deal to acquire Jones. In the playoffs it was he who led the team in scoring during their first round battle with Brandon. In five postseason games Jones amassed seven points, more than double the offensive contribution of anyone else on his team.
Jones ended the year with a +10 rating, one of the few Warriors on the positive side of the ledger and ahead of notable names like Dustin Boyd (-28) Troy Brouwer (-26) and Danny Ehrman (-27).
2007-08: After a brief four game stint with the Lightning, Jones finished the season with Norfolk (AHL). As a center with the Admirals, he tallied 14 goals and 28 assists in 78 games. He finished the season tied for second in assists and finished third overall in scoring.
