label: Caption
content: After being traded to Columbus Blue Jackets in 2016, Jones has established himself as a three-time All-Star for the Blue Jackets and one of the best defensemen in the entire NHL. Known as a fierce and relentless defender, Jones is a versatile star who can also score goals and dish out assists. Jones has become an African American star in a sport that has been slow to embrace diversity. Despite a record 28 black players playing in the NHL during the 2017-18 season, blacks accounted for roughly only three percent of the league.
