Marty Martinson, the voice of the The Battleford North Stars
Originally from Regina, Marty is a graduate of Western Academy Broadcasting College in Saskatoon. He began his broadcasting career as a play-by-play announcer for the OCN Blizzaed of the Manitoba Junior League (MJHL) in 2017, before moving to the Battlefords community and spending the past two seasons as voice of the North Stars.
When asked about his style of play-by-play announcing, Marty said his goal when behind the mic is to paint a visual picture in the minds of listeners using vivid description, insightful analysis and occasionally even some humour.
“Tuning into the North Stars’ broadcasts should be a fun and exciting experience the whole family can come together to enjoy, I want to bring listeners-both avid supporters of the team and non-traditional hockey fans alike-into the game and make the broadcasts something to look forward to on a weekly basis throughout the hockey season” – Marty Martinson
North Stars fans can catch Marty on the airwaves every game night on the Napa North Stars Hockey Broadcast on 1050 CJNB
