It didn't take long for Brady Martin to get acclimated to Milwaukee as he netted his first professional goal with the Admirals in their 4-1 Game 1 win over the Manitoba Moose in the first round of the Calder Cup Playoffs.

On the goal, Martin cut straight down the middle of the ice from the blue line, splitting the defense and beating Thomas Milic five-hole to give Milwaukee a 2-0 lead in the first period.

According to Milwaukee Admirals radio announcer Aaron Sims, Martin is the youngest player since the 2005-06 season to score his first pro goal in his first pro game at 19 years, 1 month, 7 days.

Martin was drafted by the Nashville Predators fifth overall in the 2025 NHL Draft, their highest draft pick since 2013. He made the team's roster out of training camp, playing in three games and recording one assist.
