Alec Martinez played his college hockey in the MAC with Miami (of Ohio), doing well enough to transfer his skills to the Los Angeles Kings early in the 4^th Round of the 2007 Draft.

Martinez first made the Kings in 2009-10, and in the following year, his AHL days were permanently in his rearview mirror.  A clean player who could be used well on the power play, Martinez had a five-year run of 20-plus Point seasons, two of which exceeded the 30-Point mark.  Martinez also played a part in the Kings two Stanley Cups in 2012 and 2014.

Martinez played for Los Angeles for 11 years, traded to Vegas early in the 2019-20 Season.  The Defenseman would score 198 Points as a King.
