Martin Named CHL All Star

New Mexico goaltender Andrew Martin, who played at Rensselaer, is among a group of 12 individuals named reserve players for the Southern Conference that will skate in the 2008 CHL All-Star game scheduled for Wednesday, January 16 at the Broomfield Event Center.  The Southern Conference reserves were determined by Arizona's Marco Pietroniro, the South's head coach, and the CHL's hockey operations department.

Coming into the season, Martin was a relative unknown to most around the CHL.  In the first half of the season he has burst onto the scene with a dazzling 2.63 goals against average, fourth among Southern Conference goaltenders, in 12 games played.  The Plano, Texas native will be making his first All-Star Game appearance. Martin sports a 5-6-1 record and a .912 save percentage.

Martin was a member of the Engineers from 2003 through 2005.
