Three-game series begins Wednesday in Lake Placid, New York
The 2030 and 2034 Winter Olympics don’t even have host cities or venues yet. But many of the players in the women’s gold-medal hockey finals in those Games will be on display in a three-game U-18 series beginning today at Herb Brooks Arena in Lake Placid, New York. The other games are Thursday and Saturday between the two nations that have almost exclusively dominated women’s ice hockey.
Jackson grew up playing hockey, lacrosse and soccer in the Comox Valley. She played for the Vancouver Island Seals of the B.C. Elite Hockey League before coming to Shawnigan Lake School to play in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League. The five-foot-eight, 136-pound forward is going into Grade 12 and committed to NCAA Div. 1 Northeastern University in Boston for the fall of 2024, where she plans on studying health and sciences.
She has a path to follow after her role model and fellow-Islander Micah Zandee-Hart of Saanichton became, at the 2022 Beijing Winter Games, the first player from B.C. to win an Olympic gold medal in women’s hockey.
