2009 THF DEFENSEMAN JACKSON SMITH FROM VERMONT SIGNS WITH DELTA COLLEGE PREP

Delta College Prep is honored to announce the signing of 2009-born defenseman Jackson Smith from Vermont.

Standing at 6’0”, Smith is a strong, reliable defender who possesses an advanced skill set for his age. “Smitty” spent the 2025-26 season with the Northern Cyclones 16U AAA program, recording 1 goal and 8 assists across 75 games while competing against some of the top competition in the country.

General Manager David Dew:

“Smitty comes to us fresh off a great breakout season at the 16U AAA level where he excelled with consistency. Jackson brings a skill set worth noting that matures well beyond his 2009 birth year. He is a smooth skater, manages the puck effectively, and possesses a high-end hockey IQ.

Our staff had the opportunity to work closely with Jackson during PreDraft 2026 in Boston, Massachusetts through MOLE Hockey, and it quickly became clear that this was the right fit for both sides. The sky is the limit for Smitty, and I am excited to watch his development accelerate within our program.”

Head Coach Mitch Gillespie:

“I had the pleasure of coaching Jackson during our Boston showcase, and he made a strong impression right away. Not only is he a tremendous player, but he is also an outstanding teammate. After our first MOLE Futures game, Smitty quickly became a priority for our staff, and we could not be happier to have him wearing a Delta sweater this upcoming season.

Jackson’s combination of size, skating ability, hockey sense, and character will make him a valuable addition to our blue line.”
