Riley Martin Ready For His Rookie Experience

 

 

After spending a season and a bit in the VHLM with the Miami Marauders and Halifax 21^st, then moving onto the VHLE with the Stockholm Vikings, Riley Martin is finally ready to make his VHL debut in Season Ninety-Three. So far in his short time in the VHL system, Martin has had multiple ups and downs, for example in the VHLM Martin played in twenty playoff games with Miami in his first season which unfortunately ended with a loss in the Founders Cup finals, to winning only ten games with Halifax in his first full season in the VHLM. Along with those ups and downs in the VHLM, the experience was the same as Martin headed into the VHLE as he was passed over multiple times in the VHLE Entry draft, falling to Stockholm in the last round twenty-first overall, to then putting up ninety points during the Season Ninety-two season. With so many ups and downs already in the short VHL career for Martin, he really doesn’t have many expectations as he heads into the VHL.

 

As he heads into the VHL, Martin will be one of six rookies lacing up the skates in the VHL for the first time, so expectations won’t be likely very high for Martin and the rest of the Wolves roster in season one. Personally, for Martin his expectations will be a bit higher in his rookie season as he had put in enough practice time that he is hoping to be close to a point per game player in his rookie season. While Martin won’t beat himself up is he doesn’t meet those expectations in Season One, Martin will be holding himself accountable day in and day out in season one to ensure he is always putting his best foot forward regardless of the outcome.

 

One thing that should help Martin out as he embarks on the biggest stage of his hockey career, is the players that will be surrounding him in his rookie season in Vancouver. Form veterans on the roster like superstar defenseman Liv Slater, to forwards that held the fort down last season for the Wolves in Nick Sansoe, Ben Dover, Carson Walker Jr. and newcomer to Vancouver Left Alone, Martin will have a wealth of experience to hang around to allow some of their VHL knowledge to rub off on him. Along with the veterans on the roster, Martin will also have the six fellow rookies on the club this season, which also will help the youngster out as those six guys may share the same rookie experiences Martin might face in Season Ninety-Three. All in all, Martin is read for his rookie experience this upcoming season, regardless of what might come his way.

A point per game would be amazing!! Likely putting you in the ROY conversation at the end of the season.
