The hockey world is mourning the sad death of such a young 24-year-old goalie Creed Jones, and now the cause of death has finally been revealed.

The Gatineau Olympiques of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) made the announcement yesterday that their former goaltender Creed Jones had died, and now it was revealed that a motorcycle accident was the cause of death. What's so sad about this tragedy is how young Jones was, being only 24-years-old, and he had such a bright future ahead of him.

Former QMJHL and UOttawa goalie Creed Jones tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident Friday evening in Ottawa at age 24. RIP

Here are two excerpts from an article written by journalist Olivier Therriault explaining the situation in greater detail:

Former Oceanic goaltender, Creed Jones, tragically died at the age of 24 following a motorcycle accident on Friday night on Highway 417 in the Ottawa region. His host families in Rimouski are in shock.

According to the CBC, Jones was traveling westbound shortly before midnight. He reportedly collided with another motorcyclist, aged 27, in a ramp. He also died in the tragedy.

Olivier says that Jones was a very funny human being who was also very endearing. Many people that knew Jones could attest to these remarks.

After welcoming him into her family during his first stay in Rimouski, Paméla Couturier remembers a young man with a big heart, friendly, funny, and endearing, despite �a mysterious bad boy shell.

Creed Jones last played in the QMJHL during the 2020-21 season with the Rimouski Oceanic. He later went on to play goalie for the University of Ottawa during the 2021-22 season, before calling it quits from the game.

We would like to offer our most sincerest condolences to all of Creed's family and friends. It is definitely an extremely difficult time for them right now, and we hope that they will be able to get the support they need and deserve.
