Texas Stars Hire Bob Jones as Next Assistant Coach

The Texas Stars wasted no time finding a new assistant coach to join Derek Laxdal's staff. Bob Jones joins Texas coming off three seasons as head coach of OHL Oshawa.

Before that, he was an associate coach and spent one season as head coach of the Windsor Spitfires. That run included two OHL championships headlined by leading scorer Taylor Hall. Jones was drafted in the ninth round by the Red Wings in 1989. That year, the draft went out to 12 rounds. He played just over 100 games in the AHL and IHL from 1990-92.

Jones missed the 2017-18 season with Oshawa after suffering a ruptured colon in June 2017.
