Playing career
[edit]Collegiate
[edit]In her rookie season with the University of Maine, she was named to the Hockey East All-Academic Team, with a .911 SV% and 2.84 GAA in 27 starts. In 2018, she was named a WHEA All-Star Honourable Mention, after setting a single-season record for wins at the University of Maine.[1][2] By the time she graduated, she would set the university's all-time records in wins, goals-against average, save percentage, and shutouts.[3][4]
Professional
[edit]In April 2020, Jackson was selected third overall by the Buffalo Beauts in the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) draft. A few days later, she signed her first professional contract with the team for the 2020–21 season.[5] She made 43 saves in her NWHL debut, a 2–1 shootout loss to the Connecticut Whale.[6] After two seasons in Buffalo, Jackson joined the Toronto Six for the 2022–23 season.[7] She would serve as the backup to Elaine Chuli as the Six went on to win the Isobel Cup.[8]
After going undrafted in the 2023 PWHL draft, Jackson signed with PWHL Toronto following their 2023 training camp.[9] During the 2023–24 season, she was the team's third goaltender and dressed for only one game. On July 9, 2024, she signed a one-year contract extension with Toronto.[10]
Style of play
[edit]Having played baseball alongside hockey during her childhood, Jackson has been noted for the strength of her glove hand, as well as her speed and stamina.[11]
