After 30 years at the helm, men’s hockey head coach Mike Schafer ’86 will finish his run at Cornell with the 2024-25 season. Jones, the previous head coach of ECAC rival Clarkson, will serve as the associate head coach in 2024-25 and will be transitioned into the head coaching position following the conclusion of the season. The news was first announced by Cornell Athletics via an article by Jeremy Hartigan, senior associate director of athletics for communications, in the Cornell Chronicle.

Jones previously served as an assistant coach on the Hill from 1991-1993 and from 2008-2011, the latter stint as an associate head coach under Schafer.
