Martin Jones (born January 10, 1990) is a Canadian ice hockey goaltender for the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League (NHL). A standout goaltender in junior with the Calgary Hitmen, Jones was named the Western Hockey League's goaltender of the year in 2009–10 and won a silver medal with Team Canada at the 2010 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.
He has spent the majority of his professional career in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Manchester Monarchs but made his NHL debut in 2013, where he spent two seasons with the Los Angeles Kings as backup to Jonathan Quick. In 2014, Jones won the Stanley Cup as a member of the Kings.
Jones was born in North Vancouver, British Columbia. His father, Harvey, is the Vice President of Arena Operations with the Vancouver Canucks. He has a brother, Jordan, and a sister, Jocelyn. Jones felt that his father's position with the Canucks gave him some opportunities within the game that most other kids would not get. He played midget with the Vancouver Northwest Giants of the BC Hockey Major Midget League. Jones attended Handsworth Secondary School and played ice hockey at the North Shore Winter Club.
