Jonathan Lennox

Jonathan Matthieu Lennox (born March 19, 1998) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey winger and current youth hockey coach for the Vancouver Cubs of the North American Junior Hockey League (NAJHL). With the exception of his rookie year, Lennox played his entire career with the Vancouver Lions.

Early years
Lennox was born in Hamilton, Ontario on March 19, 1998 to Anthony, a youth hockey coach and grocery store clerk, and Lina Lennox, a middle school art teacher. Lennox's grandparents on his mother's side are Quebecois natives, which led to the misconception that Lennox grew up bilingual.

After Lennox was drafted to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey Association (QMJHA) at 15, he moved to Sherbrooke, Québec semi-permanently to continue his hockey career. Lennox has stated that living alone as a teenager, completing high school completely asynchronously, and only interacting with other young hockey players, "severely stunted my social abilities. I had to relearn all of that when I moved to Raleigh, and then again when I moved to Vancouver."

Amateur
Lennox played major junior hockey for the Sherbooke Saints of the QMJHA for three seasons. 37 points in his junior rookie season led him to the QMJHA and the Canadian Hockey Association (CHA) All-Rookie Team. His next season, a 55-point effort in 60 games earned him QMJHA First Team All-Star honours.

North Carolina Cavaliers (2016 - 2017)
In 2016, Lennox signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the North Carolina Cavaliers after being drafted third overall in the 2016 NAHL Entry Draft. He debuted on October 16, 2016 in a game against his future team, the Vancouver Lions. His scored his first career NAHL goal on October 22 in a game against the Philadelphia Bells.
