EP.97 - Marty Stein - Western Amateur Scout for the Buffalo Sabres

Up My Hockey with Jason Podollan

Marty Stein has been scouting junior hockey players for 27 years.
Currently, Marty is working for the resurgent Buffalo Sabres, covering the western region of North American. If there is a 17 year old playing Junior A, or Major Junior, Marty is going to know about them - that's his job.
Prior to Buffalo, Stein had a similar role with the Detroit Red Wings, where he started in 1996.
After 4 Stanley Cups, and 2 Calder Cups, you can say Marty has seen it all from the scouting perspective.
In this interview you will hear about the research scouts do, the types of attributes Marty is looking for, a comparison of Jr. A to Major Junior, how team compile their draft lists and makes their selections, and much more!
Enjoy the conversation with Marty Stein!
