Early life
[edit]Martinook was born on July 25, 1992, in Brandon, Manitoba.[1] He was raised in Leduc, Alberta due to his father's oilpatch position, and grew up an Edmonton Oilers fan.[2] After playing with the local Leduc Oil Kings in the Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League, Martinook joined the Drayton Valley Thunder of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.[1] As a 16 year old, Martinook skated in two games with the Thunder before joining them full time in the 2009–10 season. During his rookie campaign, Martinook tallied 21 goals and 19 assists for 40 points through 59 games.[3] While playing with the Kings and Valley Thunder, Martinook also auditioned for the Lethbridge Hurricanes of the Western Hockey League (WHL). After failing to qualify for their roster during their 2008 and '09 seasons, he was also cut from their 50-man protected list midway through the 2009–10 season. As such, the Vancouver Giants picked up his playing rights in 2010.[4]
Playing career
[edit]Martinook played two seasons (2010–2012) of major junior hockey in the WHL with the Vancouver Giants, scoring 51 goals and 41 assists for 92 points, while earning 147 penalty minutes, in 144 games played.
Phoenix Coyotes
[edit]On September 1, 2012, the Phoenix Coyotes signed Martinook to a three-year entry-level contract.[5]
On July 20, 2015, the Coyotes re-signed Martinook to a two-year, two-way contract.[6] In his first full season with the club, Martinook scored 9 goals and 24 points in 81 games.
The following year, Martinook recorded 25 points in 77 games. On July 22, 2017, the Coyotes re-signed Martinook to a two-year, $3.6 million contract worth $1.8 million annually, avoiding arbitration.[7]
Carolina Hurricanes

On May 3, 2018, Martinook and a fourth round pick in the 2018 NHL entry draft were traded to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for Marcus Krüger and a third round pick. At the time of the trade, Martinook had tallied six goals and nine assists through 81 games for the Coyotes.[8] Following the trade, he scored his first career NHL hat-trick on November 23, 2018, in a 4–1 win against the Florida Panthers.[9] After recording 10 goals and 13 points through 50 games to rank sixth among Hurricanes skaters, he signed a two-year contract extension on January 29, 2019.[10] During the 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs, after suffering a lower-body injury in Game 4, head coach Rod Brind'Amour revealed Martinook had spent the majority of the season nursing injuries.[11] As a result of his injury, Martinook missed Game 5 but returned to the lineup for the 5–2 win over the Washington Capitals in Game 6. He recorded an assist, four hits, and two shots on goal in 14:25 of ice time.[12] However, he missed Game 1 of the second round against the New York Islanders as a result of reaggravating the same injury.[13] Martinook returned to the lineup for Game 3, where he played on a line with Patrick Brown and Greg McKegg, who also scored the game-winner in Game 4.[14] Martinook finished his first season with the Hurricanes establishing career highs in goals, shots, and hits, and matched his career high in points. He also finished the post-season recording four assists in 10 games. Following their elimination, Martinook underwent surgery to repair a core muscle injury.[15]
Following his first season with the Hurricanes, Martinook was named an alternate captain alongside Jaccob Slavin and captain Jordan Staal.[16] He began the 2019–20 season by recording one assist in four games before undergoing surgery to repair a core muscle injury on October 10.[17] He was activated off injured reserve on November 15, 2019, after missing 15 games.[18]
On January 19, 2021, Martinook was one of four Hurricanes players added to the NHL's COVID-19 Protocol list.[19] During the 2021 off-season, Martinook had meniscal debridement surgery on his right knee but was expected to be ready for the start of the season.[20] While recovering, he was signed to a three-year, $5.4 million contract extension to remain with the Hurricanes.[21]
Personal life
[edit]Martinook and his wife Courtney have three children together.[22]

Background
Early life
Jordan Martinook was born on July 25, 1992, in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada.[3] He is the son of Mark Martinook, who worked in the oil industry, and Wendy Martinook, an operations manager at the Leduc Community Living Association for over two decades.[4] Martinook has one older sister, Ashlee.[5] The family relocated frequently due to his father's career; they moved to Estevan, Saskatchewan, when Jordan was two years old, where he spent much of his early childhood.[6] At age eight, the family settled in Leduc, Alberta, which became his primary hometown during his formative years.[6] His mother has described him as having a "one-track mind" focused on hockey from a young age, often exploring her hockey equipment bag out of curiosity.[7] The family emphasized support for his pursuits, with both parents making sacrifices to nurture his interests despite the demands of their careers.[4] Martinook began playing organized hockey at age four or five in Estevan, Saskatchewan, though his initial experiences were challenging—he reportedly hated it at first and refused to skate, preferring to sit on the ice.[8][4] By age five, he developed a passion for the sport, starting on a backyard outdoor rink in Saskatchewan and continuing his development after the move to Leduc, where he joined local minor hockey programs.[9] He also participated in other sports like football, lacrosse, inline hockey, and soccer during his youth, but hockey quickly became his primary focus.[9] Growing up in Leduc, Martinook became a fan of the Edmonton Oilers, influenced by the proximity to the team.[10]Junior hockey career
Martinook began his competitive hockey career in his hometown of Leduc, Alberta, playing for the Leduc Oil Kings in various youth divisions of the Alberta minor hockey system. During the 2006–07 season, he competed at the U15 AAA level in the Alberta Minor Bantam Hockey League (AMBHL), where he recorded 19 goals and 33 points in 30 games. He progressed to the U18 AAA level in the Alberta Major Midget Hockey League (AMHL) for the 2008–09 season, contributing 7 goals and 20 points in 33 games.[3] At age 16, Martinook transitioned to junior A hockey with the Drayton Valley Thunder of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) late in the 2008–09 season, appearing in two games without recording a point.[11] He became a full-time player the following year, leading the Thunder in goals with 21 and finishing third on the team in points with 40 over 59 games, helping establish his reputation as a gritty, goal-scoring forward.[12][3] In May 2010, Martinook was acquired by the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League (WHL) ahead of the 2010–11 season, marking his entry into major junior hockey. As an 18-year-old rookie, he played in all 72 regular-season games, scoring 11 goals and 28 points while accumulating 67 penalty minutes, and added one goal in four playoff contests. His sophomore season in 2011–12 proved to be a breakout year, as he again appeared in every one of the Giants' 72 games, leading the team with 40 goals and ranking third in overall points with 64, along with a plus-15 rating. In the playoffs, he contributed nine points in six games as Vancouver advanced to the WHL Western Conference Finals. These performances highlighted Martinook's development into a reliable, high-energy winger capable of contributing offensively and physically.[11][12][13]Professional career
Phoenix and Arizona Coyotes
Jordan Martinook was selected by the Phoenix Coyotes in the second round, 58th overall, of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.[1] He signed a three-year entry-level contract with the team on September 1, 2012.[14] Following his junior career, Martinook transitioned to professional hockey, spending time with the Coyotes' American Hockey League affiliate, the Portland Pirates, where he developed as a versatile forward capable of playing center or wing.[3] Martinook made his NHL debut with the Coyotes on December 6, 2014, against the Boston Bruins, after being recalled from Portland earlier that week amid roster adjustments.[1] In the 2014-15 season, he appeared in eight games, recording one assist while adjusting to the professional level.[1] The following year, Martinook secured a full-time NHL role, playing all 81 games in 2015-16 and contributing 24 points (9 goals, 15 assists), often in a bottom-six capacity where he provided physical play and shot-blocking.[1] On July 20, 2015, he signed a two-year contract extension with the Coyotes, reflecting the team's confidence in his steady development.[15] In the 2016-17 season, Martinook achieved a career-high with the organization, tallying 25 points (11 goals, 14 assists) in 77 games despite missing time due to an upper-body injury in January.[1] He notched notable contributions, including a game-winning goal against the Colorado Avalanche on November 8, 2016, just 28 seconds into the first period, helping stabilize the team's center position amid lineup challenges.[16] The 2017-18 season saw him play all 81 games again, recording 15 points (6 goals, 9 assists), though the team struggled overall. On July 22, 2017, Martinook signed another two-year extension worth $3.6 million, underscoring his value as a reliable depth player known for his willingness to block shots, even at personal cost like a hairline ankle fracture in one instance.[17][18] Over four seasons with the Phoenix and Arizona Coyotes (2014-18), Martinook appeared in 247 games, accumulating 65 points (26 goals, 39 assists) and 103 penalty minutes, establishing himself as a gritty, two-way forward.[1] On May 3, 2018, the Coyotes traded him to the Carolina Hurricanes along with a fourth-round pick in exchange for forward Marcus Kruger and a third-round draft pick, marking the end of his tenure with the organization.[1]Carolina Hurricanes
Jordan Martinook was acquired by the Carolina Hurricanes from the Arizona Coyotes on May 3, 2018, in exchange for center Marcus Krüger and Carolina's third-round pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, with Arizona sending Martinook and their fourth-round pick (used to select Luke Henman) to Carolina. He made his debut with the Hurricanes in the 2018–19 season, establishing career highs with 15 goals and 25 points in 82 games while contributing to the team's bottom-six forward group and penalty kill.[1] In the playoffs that year, Martinook recorded 4 points in 10 games as Carolina reached the Eastern Conference Final.[19] Following a strong debut, Martinook signed a two-year contract extension with the Hurricanes on January 29, 2019, worth $4 million with an average annual value of $2 million. His production dipped slightly in the shortened 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons due to injuries and the COVID-19 pandemic, totaling 26 points over 89 games, but he remained a reliable depth player.[19] Martinook rebounded in 2021–22 with 15 points in 59 games before achieving a new career high of 34 points (13 goals, 21 assists) in 2022–23, ranking among the team's top penalty killers with 1:55 of shorthanded time on ice per game.[19] That postseason, he exploded for 12 points in 15 games, including a franchise-record four consecutive multi-point playoff games—a streak that spanned the second round against the New Jersey Devils—helping Carolina advance to the Eastern Conference Final. In the 2023–24 season, Martinook posted 32 points in 82 games and added 4 points in 11 playoff games, highlighted by a remarkable diving save in Game 6 of the second round against the New York Rangers that preserved a 3-1 lead in the second period, though Carolina lost the game 5-3 and the series. He earned 30th-place votes in Frank J. Selke Trophy balloting for his defensive play that year. Martinook continued his upward trend in 2024–25, recording 36 points (15 goals, 21 assists) in 79 games with a plus-16 rating, his best mark to date. In the 2024-25 playoffs, he contributed 6 points (1 goal, 5 assists) in 15 games as Carolina advanced in the postseason.[19] On July 1, 2024, he signed a three-year extension with Carolina worth $9.15 million at an AAV of $3.05 million, securing his role through the 2026–27 season. Through the early 2025–26 season, Martinook has added 7 points in 18 games (as of November 16, 2025), maintaining his reputation as a versatile, leadership-driven forward praised by Hurricanes general manager Eric Tulsky as the "heart and soul" of the team.[1]| Season | GP | G | A | Pts | +/- | PIM |
