When the Philadelphia Flyers selected Porter Martone at sixth overall of the 2025 NHL Draft several months ago, there was excitement in the air. Dreams of the next great power forward calling Philadelphia home felt like a match made in heaven. While fans feel the palpable electricity at the thought of Martone being a Flyer, it also goes the other way.

Martone appeared on the most recent episode of the Empty Netters podcast to go over his journey from being traded as a 16-year-old in the OHL all the way through his Draft experience, and then joining the powerhouse Michigan State Spartans where he’s leading that offense as one of the best freshmen in college hockey right now.
