Professional

Montreal Impact

Jackson-Hamel began playing in 2010 with the Montreal Impact Academy in the Canadian Soccer League.[2] In 2014 he played with the USL PDL club Montreal Impact U23, where he netted 4 goals in 6 appearances.[3]

He signed his first professional contract with the Montreal Impact on August 1, 2014.[4] He made his debut as a 65th-minute substitute during a 0–2 loss to Toronto FC on August 2, 2014.[5] He started his first MLS game on the 13th of September 2014 against New England Revolution. Jackson-Hamel was selected to participate at the 2015 Chiptole Homegrown Game against Club América U-20 as part of the 2015 MLS All-Star Game festivities. He scored his first goal for the Impact against the New York Red Bulls in a 3–0 victory on March 13, 2016.

In April 2017, there was speculation that Jackson-Hamel would be released by the Impact. Amongst this speculation, Jackson-Hamel scored 3 goals in 37 minutes to start the 2017 season, including a backheel in stoppage time to defeat Atlanta United, and 2 goals against Philadelphia Union.[6] After a difficult 2018 season, where Jackson-Hamel only managed two goals and was dropped mid-season by Montreal coach Rémi Garde, the coach confirmed the club were actively shopping the striker.[7] At the end of the 2020 season, Jackson-Hamel would be released by the Impact, ending his time at the club after seven seasons.[8]

International

Jackson-Hamel has represented Canada at youth level and was a part of the team that played at the 2013 CONCACAF U-20 Championship.[9]

He received his first call-up to the Canadian national team in October 2016 for a pair of friendlies in Morocco.[10] He subsequently made his debut for Canada on October 6, 2016 against Mauritania, coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute.[11] Jackson-Hamel scored his first goal for Canada against Bermuda on January 22, 2017.[12]
