Carly Jackson grew up in Amherst, Nova Scotia, and went on to build one of the more decorated careers in women's college hockey before making their mark in professional play. At the University of Maine, Jackson set program records across multiple categories during their junior season, including wins, saves, save percentage, shutouts, and goals-against average. Their sophomore year at Maine had already signaled what was to come, when Jackson broke the Black Bears' single-season wins record. As a freshman, Jackson made 25 starts and earned a spot on the Hockey East All-Academic Team. Jackson had also represented Canada internationally, winning a silver medal at the 2015 U18 World Championship.
After leaving Maine, Jackson entered the NWHL/PHF, spending two seasons with the Buffalo Beauts before joining the Toronto Six. The first season in Buffalo came during a condensed schedule cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic; Jackson led all goaltenders in saves while facing the most shots in the league. In the second season with Buffalo, Jackson appeared in 17 regular season games with a .903 save percentage and served as an alternate captain. That season also brought the NWHL Foundation Award. Jackson was named to the Fans Three Stars of the Season in both 2020-21 and 2022-23, recognition connected in part to the personality, advocacy, and fashion they shared publicly throughout their career. In their single season with Toronto, Jackson appeared in six games with a .926 save percentage and was part of the Six team that won the 2022-23 Isobel Cup.
Jackson, who also works as an actor, now plays for the Seattle Torrent of the PWHL, wearing number 70. Following the Isobel Cup win, Jackson spoke with InGoal Radio alongside teammate Elaine Chuli InGoal Radio Episode 211 with PHF Champions Elaine Chuli and Carly Jackson.
