Porter Martone, selected No. 6 overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2025 NHL Draft, will delay signing to play for Michigan State in the 2025-26 season, Sportsnet reported Monday.
The Canada native spent last season playing for the Brampton Steelheads of the Ontario Hockey League and tallied 98 points (37 goals, 61 assists) in 57 games. He added nine points (four goals, five assists) in six playoff games.
The Flyers will retain the draft rights to the 18-year-old forward.
'We are aware of the reports surrounding Porter and will support what he decides to do,' Flyers general manager Danny Briere told The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Spartans won the Big Ten title in 2024-25 and were the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament but lost to Cornell in the first round.
The Flyers finished last season with a 33-39-10 record (76 points) and have not made the Stanley Cup playoffs since the 2019-20 season.
