Carly Jackson grew up in Amherst, Nova Scotia, and went on to rewrite the record books at the University of Maine before reaching professional hockey's top level. Wearing number 70 for the Seattle Torrent, Jackson catches left and stands 5'5".
At Maine, Jackson made 25 starts as a freshman and earned a spot on the Hockey East All-Academic Team. In their sophomore year, Jackson broke the Black Bears' single-season wins record with 17. The junior season brought a more sweeping rewrite of the program record book, as Jackson set new marks at Maine for career wins, saves (3,029), save percentage (.923), shutouts (12), and goals-against average (1.90). Their final two seasons at Maine produced 28 and 32 appearances, respectively, and closed with their best single-season save percentage of the four years at .934. Jackson also represented Canada internationally, earning a silver medal at the 2015 U18 World Championship.
Jackson entered professional play in the NWHL/PHF, spending two seasons with the Buffalo Beauts before moving to the Toronto Six. The first season in Buffalo came during a condensed campaign that was cut short by COVID-19; Jackson led all goaltenders in saves while facing the most shots in the league. The second season with Buffalo saw Jackson play 17 regular-season games with a .903 save percentage while also serving as an alternate captain. Jackson was named the Beauts' recipient of the NWHL Foundation Award that year and earned recognition on the Fans Three Stars of the Season in both 2020-21 and 2022-23. In their lone season with Toronto, Jackson appeared in six games and posted a .926 save percentage as the Six won the 2022-23 Isobel Cup.
Jackson joined Seattle when the PWHL launched, bringing with them a following built not only through play but through their public personality, advocacy work, and fashion presence — factors the league credits as central to their fan-voted recognition.
