Carly Jackson grew up in Amherst, Nova Scotia, and went on to build a career in hockey that has taken them from the NCAA to three seasons in the NWHL/PHF and, ultimately, to the PWHL's Seattle Torrent.
At the University of Maine, Jackson played four seasons for the Black Bears. As a freshman, they made 25 starts and earned a spot on the Hockey East All-Academic Team. In their sophomore year, Jackson broke Maine's single-season wins record with 17. Their junior season produced a run of program records that stood across multiple categories: 45 wins, 3,029 saves, a .923 save percentage, 12 shutouts, and a 1.90 goals-against average. In their final two seasons, Jackson appeared in 28 and 32 games respectively, closing out their collegiate career with a best single-season save percentage of .934.
Before college, Jackson represented Canada at the 2015 U18 World Championship, where the team earned a silver medal.
Jackson entered professional hockey with the Buffalo Beauts during a condensed season that was shortened further by COVID-19. In that first campaign, they led all goaltenders in saves and faced the most shots in the league. The following season, Jackson served as an alternate captain for the Beauts and appeared in 17 regular season games, posting a .903 save percentage. They later moved to the Toronto Six, where six appearances and a .926 save percentage contributed to Toronto's 2022-23 Isobel Cup championship. Beyond on-ice results, Jackson earned a following for sharing their personality, advocacy work, and fashion, which led to being named to the Fans Three Stars of the Season in both 2020-21 and 2022-23. They also received the NWHL Foundation Award from the Beauts in 2020-21.
