Porter Martone has absolutely been turning heads at the 2026 World Juniors as Canada’s Captain!
The Flyers prospect (picked 6th overall in 2025) started with some early drama — including a formal IIHF warning for warmup antics and a controversial celebration after an empty-netter against Czechia — but he’s backed it up big time on the ice.Highlights so far:
- Tied for the team lead with four goals heading into the later stages.
- Key contributions like a multi-point game (2 goals + assist) in Canada’s 9-1 blowout of Denmark.
- Another goal in the quarterfinal rout of Slovakia (7-1 win, advancing Canada to the semis).
He’s been a physical, playmaking force alongside linemates like Tij Iginla and Michael Misa, living up to the hype as a power forward with elite skill.Canada’s looking strong for a deep run — Martone’s leadership and production have been a huge part of it.
