Carly Jackson grew up in Amherst, Nova Scotia, and went on to build one of the more statistically documented careers in University of Maine women's hockey history. During their junior year with the Black Bears, Jackson set program records across five categories: wins, saves, save percentage, shutouts, and goals-against average. That single season produced 45 wins, 3,029 saves, a .923 save percentage, 12 shutouts, and a 1.90 GAA. The record-setting run had begun a year earlier, when Jackson broke Maine's single-season wins record as a sophomore with 17. As a freshman, they made 25 starts and earned a spot on the Hockey East All-Academic Team. Before arriving at Maine, Jackson represented Canada at the 2015 U18 World Championship, where the team captured a silver medal.
After four seasons with the Black Bears — the final two of which produced 28 and 32 appearances respectively, with a .934 save percentage in their final year — Jackson entered professional hockey with the NWHL/PHF. They spent two seasons with the Buffalo Beauts, the first during a condensed campaign that was cut short by COVID-19. In that shortened year, Jackson led all goaltenders in saves while facing the most shots in the league. The following season with Buffalo, Jackson served as an alternate captain and played 17 regular season games, posting a .903 save percentage. The Buffalo portion of their career also brought the NWHL Foundation Award in 2020-21, and a Fans Three Stars of the Season selection that same year.
Jackson's third PHF season came with the Toronto Six. Appearing in six games with a .926 save percentage, they were part of the Six's 2022-23 Isobel Cup championship. That season also brought a second Fans Three Stars of the Season recognition, a result that reflected the following Jackson had built through their public personality, advocacy work, and fashion presence. Following the Isobel Cup win, Jackson appeared on InGoal Radio alongside teammate Elaine Chuli [1]. Jackson now plays for the Seattle Torrent in the PWHL, wearing number 70. In addition to their hockey career, Jackson is also an actor. InGoal Magazine has covered Carly Jackson in one podcast appearance.
