Officially, Elijah Jones II is the son of a great hockey player and GOMHL Hall of Famer, Elijah Jones. Elijah Jones II was born in Mexico, but he grew up in Ontario. He was playing hockey from the start and was naturally gifted. His father’s reputation opened a lot of doors for him, but Elijah Jones II ability on the ice earned him attention from scouts early on. His parents were adamant that Elijah Jones II got a good education, but he had trouble focusing on studies when he would rather be at the rink. His grades suffered and his parents actually took him out of hockey for a year. Once his grades improved, Elijah Jones II was allowed to play hockey again. His time off stunted his development somewhat, but the years following he shook off the rust leading to him being a top prospect in the SHL during season 49.
