Clarkson University Men's Ice Hockey

Jones begins his sixth year as the Golden Knights head coach in 2016-17. Named a finalist three times for ECAC Hockey Coach of the Year in his short tenure at Clarkson, Jones was designated the second Leonard S. Ceglarski Chair for the Golden Knights in May of 2011, becoming one of few coaches nationally to hold an endowed coaching position in the sport of ice hockey. In his five campaigns, Jones has had Clarkson in contention for an ECAC Hockey playoff first-round bye right up until the final weekend of the regular season.  Last season Clarkson was one of the hottest teams in the nation during the 2016 portion of the schedule and was one of only two ECAC Hockey programs to reach the 20-win mark overall. The Knights skated to a 20-15-3 overall record in 2015-16 and finished in a tie for fifth place in the conference standings, just two points shy of a top-four showing, with a 10-9-3 league mark.The Knights played in a school-record four straight overtime postseason games, sweeping Princeton (3-2 2ot, 3-2ot) in first round action at Cheel before falling at St. Lawrnce (3-2ot, 3-2 2ot) in the quarterfinals.Jones was named a finalist for the Tim Taylor ECAC Hockey Coach of the Year award for the thirdtime since 2011-12. In 2014-15, the Knights suffered numerous one-goal losses to finish with a 12-20-5 overall record and an eighth-place 8-11-3 conference slate. Selected to finish last in the 12-team league in both the coaches and media 2013 preseason polls, the Green and Gold skated to a fifth-place showing in the ECAC Hockey standings in 2013-14 and their first 20-win campaign in six years. Clarkson posted an 11-9-2 league mark and finished with a 21-17-4 overall record. The Knights, who defeated Princeton 2-1 in an ECAC Hockey first-round at Cheel Arena for the programs first playoff series victory since 2006-07, saw their season come to a close with a heartbreaking 1-0 overtime loss at Cornell in Game 3 of the quarterfinal series at Lynah Rink.  In 2012-13, Jones had a young Clarkson squad, which battled injuries all season, challenging for one of the top four spots in the league standings. The Knights, who played in 17 one-goal games, going 3-7-7 in those contests, finished the year with a 9-20-7 overall record and tied for ninth in the conference with an 8-11-3 ECAC Hockey slate. As a rookie head coach in 2011-12, Jones was named a finalist for ECAC Hockey Coach of the Year after guiding Clarkson to a 16-17-6 overall record and a 9-9-4 league mark, tying for sixth place in the standings. Several Knights have earned postseason honors during Jones tenure, including Matt Zarbo who in 2013 became the first Clarkson player to ever receive the prestigious ECAC Hockey Student-Athlete of the year award. Renowned as a top recruiter, Jones and his staff have brought to Clarkson some of the finest student-athletes in the country. Four Golden Knights have been selected in the National Hockey League entry draft during Jones' time behind the Clarkson bench. After an extensive national search Jones returned to the University after serving the previous three years as associate coach at Cornell University. A native of Temiscaming, Quebec, Jones has recruited players and/or coached teams that have participated in the NCAA tournament eight times, including three schools and in two different leagues. He worked as an assistant for the Golden Knights under head coach Mark Morris from 1993-95. He spent 13 years (1995-2008) at Ohio State as a coach before returning to ECAC Hockey when he joined the staff at his alma mater, Cornell, for the 2008-09 campaign. The 11th head coach in the Knights' lengthy history, Jones stated about the position, "Its a fantastic opportunity here at Clarkson. The great thing about this opportunity is the program is rich in tradition. Its a job that has a history of winning and its why I am coming here." Prior to taking the head job at Clarkson, Jones helped Cornell return to the NCAA tournament twice, and the ECAC championship game each year. Jones also spent 13 years in the CCHA at Ohio State, as associate head coach for the Buckeyes before taking the associate head coach position with the Big Red. At OSU, he recruited the talent that gave the institution its national place in college hockey as the Buckeyes qualified for the NCAA Tournament seven times with players that he recruited, including a Frozen Four appearance. During his tenure at OSU, Jones served as the program's recruiting coordinator, a position he excelled at as he had five players drafted in the first two rounds of the National Hockey League Entry Draft. When Jones was at Clarkson from 1993 to 1995, he contributed to the Golden Knights 43-19-9 record, an ECAC Hockey championship and a berth in the NCAA tournament in 1995. After graduating from Cornell in 1990, he served two years as an assistant coach for the Big Red from 1991-93. He recruited players that helped Cornell win back-to-back ECAC Tr. titles in 1996 and 1997. Jones was a four-year letter winner as a player for the Big Red, serving as team captain in 1989-90. For his career, he scored 112 points on 30 goals and 82 assists while playing in 112 contests. Jones was also the winner of the Bill Doran Sportsmanship Award and was selected by the Boston Bruins in the 10th-round of the 1987 NHL Entry Draft. Jones and his wife, Kimberlee, also a Cornell graduate, have a daughter, Gabrielle, and a son, Bryan.  Knight in Shining Armor - CollegeHockeyNews (Oct. 20, 2011)   Return to Staff Casey Jones begins his sixth year as the Golden Knights head coach in 2016-17.

Roy as his top assistant. I am very excited to have Phil join our staff, stated Jones upon Roy's arrival. He is an alum who has great passion for Clarkson University, the Hockey program, and the Potsdam Community. He is an up-and-coming coach who has great energy and work ethic. His experience and the fact that he played defense made it a perfect fit. Roy has played a key role in Clarkson's return to one of the top programs in ECAC Hockey, and has helped recruit four NHL Draft picks to the Knights' program. Roy has mentored several freshmen into up-and-coming players in the league on the blueline as Paul Geiger, in 2012-13, James de Haas, in 2013-14, and Kelly Summers, in 2014-15, were named to the ECAC Hockey All-Rookie team, the first Golden Knights to earn that honor since 2006. With Roy on the staff, Clarkson has posted one of the stingest defensive units in the conference. Prior to retuning to Clarkson, Roy served for three years as an assistant coach at Merrimack College. During his time at Merrimack, where he was part of the 2010 Hockey East co-Coaching Staff of the Year, Roy was very active in recruiting efforts that helped turn around the Warriors program. He also worked primarily with the defense and the power play unit, which was among the best in the country the past two seasons. Merrimack defeated every other team in Hockey East in 2009-10 for the first time in the program's history and made its first ever NCAA Division I Tournament appearance in 2011. Roy, who is bilingual, came to Merrimack after spending the 2007-08 season as the head coach for the Neumann College Knights. Roy guided the Division III Knights to a 17-9 record and a fourth place finish in the ECAC West Division. Roy debuted in the coaching world as an assistant at Hobart College prior to the 2005-06 season. During his tenure there, the Statesmen set the school record for most wins in a season and appeared in the Division III Frozen Four for the first time ever. He was a member of the 2006 coaching staff that received Coach of the Year honors from the ECAC West organization. A productive, offensive-minded defenseman, Roy played a key role in Clarksons success during the late 1990s. He recorded 77 career points through 144 games from 1996-2000. The Knights won two ECAC Hockey Regular Season titles (1996-97 and 1998-99), claimed a conference tournament championship (1999) and made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances (1997, 1998, 1999) with Roy in the lineup. After graduating from Clarkson in May of 2000 with an undergraduate degree in technical communications, Roy spent five years playing professional hockey in North America and Europe. He served as an assistant captain and assistant coach for the Diables Noirs de Tours in the France Elite League, where he led the league in scoring by a defenseman. He was also an assistant coach and a captain in the United Kingdom Elite League with the Basingstoke Bison. Prior to his European career, Roy played for the Johnstown Chiefs and Augusta Lynx of the East Coast Hockey League and for the St. John Flames and Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey League. He was named team Rookie of the Year by the Muskegon Fury and was selected to the UHL All-Rookie Team in 2000-01. A St. Leonard, Quebec native, Roy and his wife, Sonia with their daughter, Makaelie, and sons, Maddox and Maxton make their home in the Potsdam area. One of the first significant moves made by Clarkson Head Hockey Coach Casey Jones in his initial year running the Green and Gold program was his hiring of former Golden Knight standout defenseman Phil Roy as his top assistant.
