Danick Martel (born December 12, 1994) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward. He is currently a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has previously played for the Philadelphia Flyers.

Playing career

During the 2014–15 QMJHL season while playing with the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, Martel scored 48 goals and 54 assists, and was named to the QMJHL First All-Star Team. He was further honoured when he was named the 2014–15 CHL Humanitarian of the Year.[1]

Undrafted, Martel signed a three-year entry level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on March 10, 2015.[2] He signed an Amateur try out with the Flyers AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, on April 11, 2015.[3]

In the 2017–18 season, Martel began his fourth season with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and was leading the team and AHL with 14 goals in 17 games before earning his first recall by the Flyers on November 22, 2017.[4] He made his NHL debut that night against the New York Islanders,[5] and would play three more games after that before being sent back to the AHL.[6] In January 2018 Martel was selected for the 2018 AHL All-Star game, however due to an injury he was replaced by Oskar Lindblom.[7] Nearing the end of the 2017–18 season, Martel was named the Phantoms 2017-18 IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year for his work in the community.[8]

Martel was claimed off waivers by the Tampa Bay Lightning on September 22, 2018.[9]
