“Te imprint he leaves on our industry goes

His commitment to the ISI principles of education, lifelong participation and the responsible growth of our industry and sport has resulted in advancements that would not otherwise have been possible.”
Some of the remarkable accomplishments that have occurred under Martell’s leadership include:
• Creation of the Ice Arena Institute of Management (iAIM) training and certification program.
• Increase in the number of and participation levels in ISI national recreational skating events.
• Formation of the weSKATE instructor training program.
• Addition of a recreational hocky program, which increased individual membership.
• Formation of ISI affiliate organization in Asia, following negotiation of a licensing agreement.
• Growth of print and digital communications with smart device applications.
• Development of management software pack- ages for ISI skating schools and competitions.
• Inception of an historic joint education agreement with the Professional Skaters Association.
• Purchase of first ISI-owned headquarters (in Plano, Texas).
Early Years
After graduating from Ohio University, Martell managed the original Sky Rink in New York City, N.Y. He later worked for the Ice Capades Chalets — the largest commercial ice arena management company at the time — where he advanced in his profession, eventually serving as president of the organization. Following his 17-year career with “Capades,”
Martell founded Sports Management Services, an ice arena management and consulting firm. He also served on the ISI board of directors for
CrossCuts
17 years as commercial rinks representative and vice president. In December 1997, he was named ISI’s executive director. A search committee is currently recruiting
qualified candidates to succeed him. For more information on the ISI executive director position, please visit the ISI website at
