Connecticut Chiefs 18U
Martinez offers a junior recruiter a youth prospect with a completed stopping base and a workable movement assessment. He should be considered for a direct evaluation of whether those qualities can support a developing role.
Movement and saved-puck handling are the prior technical positives. A club should pay attention to their practical result: whether his save leaves a loose threat close to the net or gives the defense a reasonable next play.
Watch-list inclusion reflects an evaluation case rather than a claimed Top 25 separation. The season supports interest, but a more defined older-competition assessment is needed to establish the role he could earn.
The next check is his response to contact that changes the puck's direction. Retaining visual attention and arriving under control at the follow-up lane would help turn his current foundation into a clearer junior projection.
His 2025–26 record with Connecticut Chiefs 18U lists 23 appearances, with a 2.36 goals-against average and a .924 save percentage.
