Jaeger’s inspiration is and always has been his father, former SHL forward, Hunter Jones. He grew up around the rinks with his father and always watched him during the tail end of his career in Europe. He loved having his dad around when he began playing hockey and while he spent a lot of his pre-draft interviews pushing to become his own player and not be compared to his father, Jaeger uses his father as his inspiration everyday. To surpass what his father did and create a new bar for the Jones family in the SHL, would be a dream come true for Jaeger and is the bar he strives to reach everyday as his big-league career begins in Winnipeg. He has been quoted multiple times of his excitement he had before his SHL debut and how he was “so proud” to have his family, and his father, in the stands watching him not only achieve his goals but take the first step to passing his father.
