The Nashville Predators have returned top prospect Brady Martin to the Ontario Hockey League’s Soo Greyhounds on Wednesday.

Martin, 18, was drafted fifth overall by the Predators in the 2025 draft and recorded an assist in three games with the club this season.

The 6-foot centre starred for the Greyhounds last season, recording 33 goals and 72 points in 57 games in his draft year. He added four points in five playoff games before his team was eliminated by the Windsor Spitfires in the first round.

Martin was part of the leadership team for Canada at the under-18 World Hockey Championship in 2025, recording three goals and 11 points in a gold-medal finish.

The Elora, Ont., native also represented Canada at the 2024 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, recording four assists en route to gold.
