The 100 People of Power & Influence in hockey are featured in The Hockey News' 2026 Money & Power issue, available at THN.com/free.
At No. 44 is Edmonton Oilers president of hockey ops and CEO Jeff Jackson.

Jackson's first two years of running the Oilers yielded two Cup final appearances. His former client, Connor McDavid, has given the team a three-year window to finish the job with his two-year contract extension.
Each person on the list this year is ranked in 14 categories of job classification, from owners to players to agents, along with many more powerbrokers identified within various silos of expertise. That's all available to find in The Hockey News' 2026 Money & Power hockey business annual.
