Remote controls flying across the room. A broken television. Mini hockey sticks sailing through the air. Temper tantrums. Welcome to life in Seth and Caleb Jones' household 20-plus years ago, where hypercompetitive genes were no doubt doled out at birth. Their father, Popeye, was a power forward for six NBA teams from 1993-2003. Their mom, Amy, doubled as a disciplinarian and motivator.

Reg only played in 11 games, but Doug and Max assisted on his lone goal on January 3, 1943 -- the first time all three participants in a goal were related.But how did they even get into hockey in the first place? After all, kids of NBA dads don't often gravitate to an ice rink.
Other than that, it was all about hockey. Popeye and his boys even were able to attend the Avs' Game 7 Stanley Cup Final victory over New Jersey in 2001."I loved Nicklas Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk," Seth said."I loved the Red Wings, even though I grew up in Colorado. I never told anyone that. Got to keep that undercover."Going pro Seth thought this hockey thing might have some legs when the U.S. Development Team began talking to him at age 13 or 14.
Chicago-bound As the 2021 off-season unfolded there were rumblings that Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman was attempting to acquire Caleb from Edmonton. Some felt the move would help lure Seth to Chicago and convince him to sign a long-term extension. Now what? GM Kyle Davidson made it clear last summer that a complete rebuild was the only way for the Hawks to return to glory.
