*Born: December 21, 1952 in [[Manning]], [[Alberta]]
−
'''Les Jackson''' (born December 21, 1952 in [[Manning]], [[Alberta]]) is a former professional [[ice hockey]] player, coach, scout and the current co-general manager of the [[Dallas Stars]]. Jackson was selected in the 4th round of the [[1972 NHL Amateur Draft]], 64th overall, by the [[Boston Bruins]]. Jackson had a brief and unspectacular minor league career, never reaching the [[National Hockey League|NHL]], and is better known as a manager than as a player.

*Hometown: Manning, Alberta
−

*Position: Left Wing, Coach, & General Manager
−
Jackson retired following the [[1976–77 NHL season|1976–77 season]], and was named head coach of the [[Great Falls Americans]] of the [[Western Hockey League|WHL]] prior to the [[1979–80 NHL season|1979–80 season]], his team going 2–25–1, until it folded on December 26, 1979. For the next two seasons, Jackson coached the [[Brandon Wheat Kings]], and then served as their general manager for two seasons following that. Prior to the [[1985–86 NHL season|1985–86 season]] Jackson joined the [[Minnesota North Stars]] as an assistant coach, and would stay with the franchise in one capacity or another until September 1, 1999, when he joined the [[Atlanta Thrashers]] as assistant general manager. On July 6, 2000, Jackson rejoined the [[Dallas Stars]], and was named interim co-general manager (along with [[Brett Hull]]) on November 13, 2007, and on May 22, 2008, the "interim" was removed from their title as both were signed to a 3 year deal to be co-general managers.
