Club career

Early career

Jackson-Hamel joined the Montreal Impact Academy in the Canadian Soccer League's first division in 2010. [2] He re-joined the academy the following season. [3] In his second season in the inter-provincial league, he assisted the club in securing a playoff berth. [4] Montreal would be eliminated from the playoff tournament in the first round by Capital City. [4]

His final stint in the league with the academy occurred in the 2012 season. [5] Throughout the season, he helped Montreal secure another playoff berth by finishing second in the division. [6] Their opponents in the preliminary round of the postseason were Toronto FC's academy where Montreal successfully advanced to the next round. [7] In the second round, he contributed a goal against the York Region Shooters which secured their berth in the championship final. [8] In the playoff finals, Montreal was defeated by Toronto Croatia. [9] [10]

In 2014 he played with the USL PDL club Montreal Impact U23, where he netted 4 goals in 6 appearances. [11]

Montreal Impact

He signed his first professional contract with the Montreal Impact on August 1, 2014. [12] [10] [13] He made his debut as a 65th-minute substitute during a 0–2 loss to Toronto FC on August 2, 2014. [14] He started his first MLS game on the 13th of September 2014 against New England Revolution. [15] Jackson-Hamel was selected to participate in the 2015 Chipotle 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. [16]

In April 2017, there was speculation that Jackson-Hamel would be released by the Impact but managed to secure a two-year deal. [17] 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. [18] 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 was actively shopping the striker. [19] He would help Montreal secure the 2019 Canadian Championship. [20] Throughout the 2020 season, he participated in the 2020 CONCACAF Champions League by appearing in 4 matches. [21] At the end of the 2020 season, Jackson-Hamel would be released by the Impact, ending his time at the club after seven seasons. [22] [23]

FC Montreal

Jackson-Hamel would also see action in the USL Championship in 2015 with Montreal's reserve team. [24] He would make his debut for the club on April 25, 2015, against the Richmond Kickers. [21] On July 12, 2015, he recorded his first two goals for Montreal against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. [21]

After experiencing limited playing time with the senior team, he returned to the reserve squad the following season. [25] In his second season with the club, he recorded 9 goals in 16 appearances and he finished as the club's top goal scorer. [26] [27]

International career

Jackson-Hamel was born in Canada to a Dominican father and a Quebecois mother. [28] He has represented Canada at the youth level and was a part of the team that played at the 2013 CONCACAF U-20 Championship. [29] [30]

He received his first call-up to the Canada national team in October 2016 for a pair of friendlies in Morocco. [31] He subsequently made his debut for Canada on October 6, 2016, against Mauritania, coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute. [32] Jackson-Hamel scored his first goal for Canada against Bermuda on January 22, 2017. [33] He was selected to represent the senior national team in the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup. [34]
