Jonathan Matsumoto (born October 13, 1986 in Ottawa, Ontario) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre. He currently plays for the Philadelphia Phantoms of the American Hockey League.
Matsumoto began playing collegiate hockey for the Bowling Green State University Falcons during the 2004-05 season. He became just the third freshman in Falcons' history to lead the team in scoring. After two successful seasons, he was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the third round, 79th overall, of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
Following his junior season, he began working out with the Flyers' AHL affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms. Flyers' Management liked what they saw, and on March 14, 2007, Matsumoto decided to forgo his senior season and signed an entry level contract with the Flyers. He has been assigned to the Phantoms to help them in their push to the playoffs and made his professional debut on March 16, 2007.
