Philadelphia Flyers top prospect Porter Martone is heading to Michigan state for next season, and he just explained why.
The Philadelphia Flyers’ top selection of the 2025 NHL Draft is starting a new journey this fall. Sixth-overall pick Porter Martone is going to be one of the top prospects going from the Canadian Hockey League to the NCAA as part of the new agreement between the two leagues.
The 18-year-old winger announced earlier that he has chosen to commit to Michigan State University, leaving the OHL’s Brampton Steelheads, a team which he captained last year, and foregoing any possibility of making the Flyers out of training camp — and even getting rid of the opportunity to go to an NHL training camp this fall.
