Michigan State hockey had an absolute star on their roster last year with Porter Martone leading the way for the Spartans to have another Big Ten championship season, along with a regional final run in the NCAA Tournament.
After the season, Martone signed an entry level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers, where he showed that he was one of the leagues best young players. After getting to play with the Flyers to close the season, and into the playoffs, Martone is still eligible to be a rookie in 2026-27.
With rookie eligibility, Martone is eligible for the Calder Trophy, where he is currently the betting favorite to win the rookie of the year award.
