Kim Martin named to IIHF Hall of Fame
Kim Martin of UMD women's hockey.
UMD great Kim Martin has been named to the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame, after one of the best careers for a goaltender the sport has ever seen.
Martin began her international career with team Sweden as a 15 year old in 2001, and earned two Olympic gold medals over her four Olympic games career. At UMD, her 2008 season stood out, as she led UMD to a 31-4-1 record and not only the 2008 NCAA title at the DECC, but also helped the Bulldogs become 2008 WCHA tournament and WCHA regular season champions.
Martin also was named the 2008 Frozen Four’s most outstanding player. The netminder still ranks fourth all-time with 2,446 saves in just 99 career games, first in goaltender wins with an all-time record of 67-23-6, fourth with 16 career shutouts and first with a career saves percentage of .954.
