The hockey community is mourning the tragic loss of former Rimouski Oceanic goaltender Creed Jones, who passed away following a motorcycle accident. The incident occurred late Friday night on Highway 417 in the Ottawa region, claiming the lives of both Jones and another motorcyclist.

According to reports, 24-year-old Creed Jones was traveling westbound shortly before midnight when he collided with another motorcyclist, a 27-year-old man, on a ramp. Both riders were rushed to the hospital, where they succumbed to their injuries and were pronounced deceased.
No matter the age or circumstances, losing someone is incredibly heartbreaking for everyone involved. The hockey community, while vast, feels the impact deeply when a member is lost. Creed Jones was not just a talented goaltender but also a beloved figure among his peers. He was a partner in Genesis Hockey, a hockey skills development business he co-founded with his former teammate, Braeden.
Braeden shared heartfelt words about his friend, highlighting Jones's maturity and wisdom:
«You'd never meet anyone like him. He had the mindset of a 45-year-old or a 50-year-old in a 24-year-old body. He was full of wisdom.»

At **Hockey Unplugged**, we extend our sincerest condolences to Creed Jones's family, friends, former teammates, and all those who knew him. His passing is a profound loss to the hockey world and to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. We also extend our deepest sympathies to the family of the other motorcyclist involved in this tragic accident.
The loss of Creed Jones serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing each moment. The outpouring of support and condolences from the hockey community underscores the impact Jones had on those around him.
In this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy. We hope that the memories of Creed's wisdom, kindness, and passion for hockey provide some comfort to those grieving his loss. As the hockey world reflects on his legacy, Creed Jones will be remembered not only for his contributions to the sport but also for the positive influence he had on the lives of those he touched.
