Fresh Eyes on Fresh Ice

Ryan Jackson ’14 made his NHL debut as a linesman during the Chicago Blackhawks vs. Minnesota Wild game on October 30, 2022. He celebrated his first appearance on NHL ice with the traditional solo rookie lap before the start of the game.

After playing two years of junior hockey, Jackson first went to the NHL Exposure Combine in 2016 to learn the ins and outs of officiating. He then played hockey for four years at Manhattanville College before playing in the SPHL with the Fayetteville Marksmen.

Jackson signed an ECHL contract wit h the Maine Mariners, but the team withdrew from the 2020-2021 season at the last minute due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. He was able to play in the SPHL that season for the Birmingham Bulls.

In 2021, Jackson returned to the NHL Exposure Combine, where he landed a job as an AHL linesman for the 2021-2022 season. He now splits his time officiating for the NHL and AHL.
