menu'CATS SECOND LEADING SCORER RETURNS FOR 24-25
WYTHEVILLE, VA-
7/23/24
The Blue Ridge Bobcats are proud and excited to announce that veteran forward Danny Martin has re-signed with the team for the 2024-2025 season.
The 28-year-old Ottawa, ON, Can. native donned jersey number 28 in 50 games with the Bobcats last season, finishing second on the club in points with 36 (16 goals, 20 assists).
“Danny was a big part of our team last season and now he will take a bigger leadership role this year," said Bobcats executive Vice President of Operations Jimmy Milliken. "Coming off a great season, I think he will have another big year in a Bobcats sweater”.
The 6'1" 185lb hybrid forward is a 6-year FPHL veteran with over 300 games played and over 200 career points (including playoffs).
"I’m pumped to come back to the Bobcats for another season,” said Martin. “With all the work that the team and Hitachi Energy Arena staff are putting in this offseason, this will be a great place to play. I truly believe we will be a successful team in year 2.”
Martin joined the team in early November, and was an impact with not only his production but his veteran leadership both on and off the ice. Martin scored one of the most memorable goals of the Bobcats inaugural season, a buzzer-beating overtime winner on February 23rd, and rounded out the regular season on a 4-game point streak.
"Danny is our leader with most experience playing professional hockey on our team," said Bobcats Head Coach Vojtech Zemlicka. "He has proven to be one of the top players at this level."
"He's also a great example to our rookies by his work ethic, dedication and passion for the game," Zemlicka continued. "Last year he was going through a tough start of the season prior joining us, but once he got settled you could tell he’s a Bobcat. We know this year he’s going to be coming in ready to lead this team to a cup."
