Blair Jones (born September 27, 1986) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is currently a free agent. He was previously under contract with the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL) playing on loan to the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League (AHL). He was a selection of the Tampa Bay Lightning, taken 102nd overall at the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, and played five seasons within the Lightning organization before joining the Calgary Flames in 2012. Jones was born in Central Butte, Saskatchewan, but grew up in Craik, Saskatchewan.
Jones played four years of junior hockey in the Western Hockey League (WHL) for the Red Deer Rebels and Moose Jaw Warriors between 2002 and 2006. In his final junior season, 2005–06, Jones finished sixth in WHL scoring with 85 points and helped the Warriors reach the league final. The Warriors lost the championship to the Vancouver Giants, but Jones was named to the East Division second all-star team.
The Tampa Bay Lightning selected him with their fourth round selection, 102nd overall, at the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. He turned professional in 2006–07, spending the majority of the season with Tampa Bay's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Springfield Falcons. He was recalled to Tampa early in the season and made his NHL debut on November 20, 2006, against the Buffalo Sabres. Two nights later he scored his first point, an assist, against the Florida Panthers. He scored his first NHL goal on January 30, 2007, against goaltender Sean Burke of the Los Angeles Kings. Jones finished the season with one goal and three points in 20 NHL games.
