Jordan Martinook

2018-2019 Season: 25 points (15 goals 10 assists)

2019-2020 Season projection: 29 points (14 Goals 15 Assists)

Jordan Martinook is a fan favorite, and has now been named an alternate captain after just one season with the squad. Martinook’s toughness and grittiness led him to scoring 15 goals last year. Martinook will likely replicate (and even build on) that performance this coming season.
