Acquired via a trade with the Florida Everblades last January, he posted 14 points (4G, 10A) in 33 regular season games with the Jackals. Martin then went on to notch a goal and an assist while appearing in all 10 of Elmira's Kelly Cup playoff games.
The Jackals are scheduled to begin their training camp on September 28, 2012. In preparation for the 2012-13 season the Jackals will play their annual Blue-White Game on Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. at First Arena.
