Seth Jones

Imagine a superhero on ice skates! That's Seth Jones. He plays a super-exciting game called ice hockey.

In hockey, players zoom around on skates, hit a small hard puck with sticks, and try to score goals in a net. Seth is really, really good at this game. He's a defenseman, which means he helps protect his team's goal and also helps start exciting plays to score for his team.

He plays for a team called the Florida Panthers.

Seth started playing hockey when he was young, just like you might play games. He got so good that he joined special teams to practice and play even more. He played for teams like the Portland Winterhawks.

Then, he got to play in the biggest hockey league for grown-ups, called the NHL! He's played for other teams like the Columbus Blue Jackets and Chicago Blackhawks before joining the Florida Panthers. It's like going from playing at the park to playing in a giant stadium!

Seth is a super-champion! He's played for his country, the United States, in big international games. He's won gold medals, which are like the shiny first-place prizes, not just once, but many times! He won them at the U18 Championships in 2011 and 2012, and again at the World Junior Championships in 2013. That's like winning the best prize at three big school competitions in a row!

The most amazing prize in professional hockey is called the Stanley Cup. It's a giant, shiny trophy that teams fight all year to win. Guess what? Seth Jones helped his team, the Florida Panthers, win the Stanley Cup in 2025! It's like winning the ultimate championship trophy in a video game, but it's real life! He's a true hockey star.
