The Indy Fuel have announced the return of forward Jordan Martin, who has signed a Standard Player Contract (SPC) for the 2025–26 ECHL season.

Fuel Fixture

Martin, 28, returns to Indianapolis after skating in 68 games last season, where he recorded 20 points (7g–13a) and 39 penalty minutes. The Winnipeg, Manitoba, native was a force on special teams, contributing five power-play points and five shorthanded points, with two goals and three assists in each category.

The 5-foot-11, 181-pound forward has proven his value to the Fuel since joining the team in 2023–24, when he appeared in 35 games. In 2022–23, Martin split time between the Iowa Heartlanders and Toledo Walleye, while also excelling in the SPHL with the Birmingham Bulls, netting 14 goals and 21 points in 41 games with a +20 rating.

“I am very excited and grateful to be back in Indy for another season,” Martin said. “I am pumped to be back in Fishers at the Event Center in front of the best fans in the league. Can’t wait to be back on the ice and in the community, see you all in October! Go Fuel!” – Jordan Martin (Indy Fuel, 2025).

Proven Presence

Martin’s professional career began in 2021–22 when he joined Birmingham for the final 14 games of the season after graduating from the University of Wisconsin–Superior. He made an immediate impact with six points in those games before earning his first ECHL opportunities the following year.

Collegiate Career

At Wisconsin–Superior, Martin played 93 games over four seasons, amassing 55 points (25g–30a) and 106 penalty minutes. Off the ice, he majored in Exercise Science with a concentration in Community and Public Health Promotion.
