Rather than try to make the Flyers' NHL roster out of training camp, Porter Martone, the team’s sixth-overall pick in the NHL draft, will join Michigan State in the fall.

High-end NHL prospect Porter Martone officially committed to the Spartans on Monday afternoon. Martone -- who is a winger -- committed to the Spartans over a number of other top college hockey programs, including Penn State -- who recently beat out the Spartans for Gavin McKenna.
