Seth Martin helped the Trail Smoke Eaters win the 1961 World Ice Hockey Championships as the last amateur team to win the World Championships from Canada. He was named the best goaltender of the tournament. He also played in four more World Championships with the Trail Smoke Eaters where he was named best goaltender in three of the four tournaments. In 1964, he played with team Canada at the Olympics where the team finished fourth. Martin played for the St. Louis Blues in 1967–1968, appearing in 30 games as backup for Glenn Hall.
