Jordan Julien Caron (born November 2, 1990) is a Canadian ice hockey player who plays under contract to the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Junior

Caron played for the Athol Murray College of Notre Dame in 2005-2006 prior to being drafted by the Rimouski Océanic in the first round, eighth overall in the 2006 QMJHL Draft. In his rookie season with the team, Caron finished fifth in team scoring, earning 40 points in 56 games, and led Rimouski with a +11 rating.

In his second year in Rimouski, Caron would miss some time due to injuries, appearing in only 46 games, however, he would improve on his point total from the previous year, scoring 20 goals and adding 23 assists for 43 points, helping the Océanic make the playoffs. Caron added four points in nine post-season games.

In 2008-09, Caron would once again improve with his numbers, appearing in 56 games, scoring a team high 36 goals, while earning 67 points, third highest on the club. In the playoffs, Caron earned 11 points in 13 games. Since Rimouski was hosting the 2009 Memorial Cup, the team had an automatic berth in the tournament. In four games, Caron scored two goals, as Rimouski was eliminated after losing to the Windsor Spitfires in the tie-breaking game.

Caron began the 2009-10 season with Rimouski, where in 20 games, he had nine goals and 20 points. At the trade deadline, Caron was traded along with teammate Patrice Cormier to the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies.^[1]

Caron finished the 2009-10 season with Huskies, where in 23 games, he scored 17 goals and 33 points. Caron then added seven goals and 18 points in 11 playoff games for Rouyn-Noranda.

However, Caron was included on the team picture, and awarded a Stanley Cup ring with Boston for his play with the team.^{[citation needed]}
