His brother, Harvey "Busher" Jackson also played in the NHL, and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

A native of Toronto, Ontario, Jackson played junior with the Toronto Marlboros and Toronto St. Michael's Majors. He won the 1934 Memorial Cup, the Canadian junior hockey championship, with St. Michael's. Jackson made his NHL debut in 1934 with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and played for them until 1937. He joined the Boston Bruins for one season before playing 1938–39 with the New York Americans. Jackson returned to Boston in 1939, and spent six seasons there. He spent the final part of the 1944–45 season back with Toronto, and retired, though returned to play two games of senior hockey in 1946–47.

After retiring from playing hockey Jackson moved to St. Catharines, Ontario, where he became a hockey coach for the OHA and later worked for the Port Weller Dry Docks Ltd. On May 15, 1971, Jackson suffered a heart attack and died while playing golf in the Opening Day Tournament at the St. Catharines Golf Club, at the age of 55.
