Brady Martin's story
Raised on a family farm near Elmira and born in the Kitchener area, Martin balanced farm work with long hours on the ice from an early age. The combination of rural routine and hockey practice shaped how he approaches training and competition.
Selected third overall by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in the 2023 OHL Priority Selection, he signed with the club on 23 May 2023 and debuted in the 2023–24 OHL season. As a rookie he played 52 regular‑season games, scoring 10 goals and adding 18 assists. Named an alternate captain on 27 September 2024, his second OHL year saw a big offensive jump: 33 goals and 39 assists in 57 games, plus invitations to the CHL/USA Prospects Challenge and the inaugural Connor McDavid OHL Top Prospects Game.
Regarded as a top‑10 prospect ahead of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, Martin was taken fifth overall by the Nashville Predators — the franchise's highest selection in over a decade. He signed a three‑year entry‑level contract with Nashville on 20 August 2025. Listed as a centre for the Milwaukee Admirals in the AHL as a Predators prospect, he appeared in three NHL games before being returned to the Greyhounds on 22 October.
Internationally, Martin has been a consistent contributor for Canada. On 23 October 2023 he joined Canada Red for the World U‑17 Hockey Challenge and recorded two goals and one assist in seven games. He represented Canada at the 2024 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, posting four assists in five games and winning gold. At the 2025 IIHF U18 World Championship he finished with three goals and eight assists in seven games, scored twice in the gold‑medal game versus Sweden, and earned a spot on the media all‑star team. In December 2025 he played at the World Junior Championship, collecting four goals and four assists in six games and helping Canada to bronze.
Martin's game centers on playmaking from the middle of the ice and an eye for the net. His junior numbers and international performances highlight a player who combines goal scoring and set‑up ability, built on a steady work ethic honed off the ice.
