Carly Jackson (born June 23, 1997) is a Canadian ice hockey goaltender, currently playing in the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) with PWHL Toronto.
In her[a] 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.[2][3] By the time she graduated, she would set the university's all-time records in wins, goals-against average, save percentage, and shutouts.[4][5]
In April 2020, Jackson was selected 3rd 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.[6] She made 43 saves in her NWHL debut, a 2–1 shootout loss to the Connecticut Whale.[7] After two seasons in Buffalo, Jackson joined the Toronto Six for the 2022–23 season.[8] She would serve as the backup to Elaine Chuli as the Six went on to win the Isobel Cup.[9]
After going undrafted in the inaugural draft of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL), Jackson signed with Toronto following their 2023 training camp.[10]
