Name: Austin Martz
School: Shaler
Grade: 9

Position: Forward
Background Info: Martz leads the Titans as a freshman with five goals and six points. His best game came against Butler on Nov. 1, when he recorded a hat trick and added an assist in Shaler’s lone win this season. He has scored a goal in three of the team’s five games.
Coach Curtis Hetz: “He has tremendous skills for a young player and is a physical presence on the ice. … He has tremendous hands and so his stickhandling skills are above average at this point in his development. He sees the ice very well, which allows him to control the play and make the unexpected play. His wrist shot and slap shot are well developed and as a result he is finding the net with some consistency.
