Episode 2 of On the Road with Jeff Marek takes us to a stunning cottage on Airbnb located in beautiful Muskoka, Ontario, where Jeff Marek sits down with Edmonton Oilers CEO of Hockey Operations, Jeff Jackson. From his days as an NHL player, to working as an agent representing Connor McDavid, to now helping lead one of the league’s most storied franchises, Jackson’s career path is one of the most fascinating in hockey.

In this conversation, Jackson opens up about transitioning from life on the ice to NHL front offices, what it was like representing McDavid as a teenager, and navigating the pressures of working in Toronto’s hockey spotlight as an executive with the Maple Leafs. He shares untold stories about Mario Lemieux, John Brophy, and life as an NHL roommate, while also talking about the business side of the game, his time building a player agency, and eventually joining Wasserman.

The episode isn’t just about hockey. Jackson and Marek dive into music, travel, and culture, touching on everything from why hockey players love City and Colour, to wild concert memories with Kevin Costner and U2, to the best road-trip stops in the NHL. Jackson also reflects on Sam Gagner’s post-playing career with Muskoka Hockey and why he believes Connor McDavid’s leadership and humility make him one of the most impactful captains in the game today.
