Anton Jacobs-Webb (born September 18, 2000) is a Canadian ice sledge hockey player. He won silver medals at the 2022 and 2026 Winter Paralympics. He also competed at the 2024 World Para Ice Hockey Championships and won a gold medal.
Jacobs-Webb was born on September 18, 2000, in Williamswood, Nova Scotia. He was born with a birth defect which caused his left leg to be shorter than his right.[1] Jacobs-Webb became interested in Para ice hockey when he met Hervé Lord as a pre-teen who then invited him to the local para hockey club in Ottawa.[2] He had surgery to amputate his leg above the knee in 2012 and began walking with a prosthesis.[3]
