In 2008, at the age of 17, Jakobsen left home to sign with
Segeltorps IF in Sweden. She would score 27
points in 20 games in her
rookie SDHL season, fifth highest among all scorers in the league, as the team lost in the SDHL (then Riksserien) playoff finals. She would go on to win the Swedish Championship with the club in both of the following two seasons, leading the league in
goals and points in 2011. She was not only the first Dane to lead the Swedish league in scoring, but her 33 goals that year set an SDHL record for most goals in a single season that would hold until 2016. She moved to North America ahead of the 2011–12 season to study and play ice hockey at the
University of North Dakota, a member institution of the
Western Collegiate Hockey Association. Across the next four seasons of
NCAA Division I play with the
North Dakota Fighting Hawks, she scored 137 points in 147 games, serving as the team's
alternate captain in her
senior season. Peter Elander, the Fighting Hawks' head coach during Jakobsen's time with the team, has described her as “one of Europe’s absolute best two-way centres.” In 2017, she would win her third SDHL championship, finishing first among all players for playoff points, as the team beat
HV71 in the finals.
International Jakobsen has played for the Danish senior national team since 2008. She was named Best Forward of the tournament at the
2011 Women's World Ice Hockey Championships – Division II, and would help the team earn promotion to Division IB in 2012 and to Division IA in 2013. == Personal life ==
