Jones played 554 combined regular-season and playoff games in nine NHL seasons. He spent his final 155 games with the Flyers before retiring in 2000.
He has spent over two decades as a national and local broadcaster since retiring from the NHL.
The Flyers have missed the playoffs in three consecutive seasons for only the second time in franchise history.

Jones is well-versed in the 56-year history of the franchise. He will now face the uphill battle of fixing an unfavorable salary cap position and reversing a multilayered mess in Philadelphia.
