Despite her tragic end, Jones' family wants to remember how she lived. That's why they asked people to wear jerseys Thursday night at the Roseville Oval, her hometown ice skating rink.
Jones' dad is a firefighter with Little Canada. One of their trucks was there with her hockey stick sitting on the front bumper.
In her honor, fall athletes will wear shirts on game days featuring a "JJ" in a heart on the front, and "A Gustie Forever" on the back.
