Former Gatineau Olympiques goaltender Creed Jones has unexpectedly passed away at just 24 years old, shattering the QMJHL community.

Though many injuries hockey players suffer come from brutal play on the ice, sometimes life outside the rink is more dangerous. This unfortunately proved to be the case for former QMJHL goaltender Creed Jones. Jones was involved in a tragic motorcycle accident that took his life at only 24 years old.
"Creed Jones, a beloved goaltender from Ottawa, Canada, tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident. His passion for hockey and unwavering dedication to his teammates left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. The DT Tessler community is deeply mourning his loss, as Creed touched the lives of many in ways that words cannot fully capture. His commitment to the game and the people around him will always be remembered, and his absence leaves a significant void in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him."
Aside from his dedication to his team and sport, Creed Jones is remembered among hockey fans for his time in the QMJHL. He played 93 games with the Gatineau Olympiques, Rimouski Oceanic, and Saint John Sea Dogs in the league from 2017-2021 before playing one season at the University of Ottawa.
"Devastated to learn about the passing of former Q goaltender Creed Jones. Creed played in the Q from 2017-2021. Over those years he played in 93 games, for the Gatineau Olympiques, Rimouski Océanic and the Saint John Sea Dogs. Our thoughts and prayers got to his family and friends."

Creed Jones stopped playing competitively after 2022 but still has made an obvious impact on the Gatineau Olympiques and their fans, who have continued to show their support for his legacy and extend kindness to his friends and family. We hope you can join us in doing the same amidst this tragic loss.
