Martin Signs Contract with New Mexico

RIO RANCHO, N.M. -- New Mexico Scorpions new head coach Randy Murphy was busy his first official day on the job.  Immediately after being announced, the second youngest head coach in the Central Hockey League, signed former Rensselaer goaltender Andrew Martin.

Martin has played in the CHL the past three seasons with Bossier-Shreveport, the Texas Brahmas and most recently the Wichita Thunder.  The Scorpions put their eyes on the 24 year old after a 53 save performance against them last March 10.

"Andrew is a young goalie with tremendous potential," said Murphy.  "We saw him last season play a phenomenal game against us.  He is a very athletic goalie."
