The College Hockey Takeover Continues With 6th Overall Pick Porter Martone Heading To Michigan State

ONTARIO, CANADA, JUL 21 – Martone, the Flyers' sixth overall pick, will develop at Michigan State following an NCAA rule allowing Canadian Hockey League players to retain amateur status, joining a top Big Ten team.

  • Yesterday, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported that Porter Martone, Philadelphia Flyers sixth-overall pick, is expected to announce his commitment to Michigan State later today for the 2025-26 season.
  • The NCAA Division I Council lifted its CHL ban on Nov. 7, 2024, enabling Canadian Hockey League players like Martone to retain amateur status and play college hockey in the U.S., changing the development landscape.
  • He scored 98 points , is 6'3", 205 pounds, and `focus on the process and focus on getting better` on July 3.
  • Joining the Spartans, Martone enhances a roster featuring Shane Vansaghi, Trey Augustine, and Cayden Lidstrom, as Michigan State needed star power after missing on Gavin McKenna and losing Isaac Howard.
  • His move comes just under two weeks after Gavin McKenna committed to Penn State University, highlighting the growing college hockey trend and long-term development benefits.
