Much of the discussion surrounding Max Jones will not be on his play on the ice but more one play on the ice that took place during the OHL playoffs.
In the Western Conference quarter final, Jones had a blindside hit to the head of Owen Sound player Justin Brack. He was handed a 12 game suspension, but due to the Knights success, returned in time for the Memorial Cup.
The hit was inexcusable, and the suspension well deserved especially when you consider he was laughing when heading off the ice. But the timing of the hit was fine as Brack had the puck in his skates, but the arm to the head is where the penalty came in.
