Jones was inducted into the Bronco Hall of Fame in 2013.

Jones was drafted by the Washington Capitals even before he played at WMU, and joined them after his time in Kalamazoo. He also played for the Colorado Avalanche and the Philadelphia Flyers, where after his playing days he became a commentator for NBC Sports Philadelphia and did national TV work for Versus, which became NBCSports Channel, for over a decade. When the NHL rights went to TNT last year, Jones was hired to be a part of the lead announcing team with Kenny Albert and Eddie Olczyk.
