Big announcement for Canadiens fans as Ivan Demidov plans special Olympic break appearance

You have to tell it like it is: the Ivan Demidov frenzy is only just beginning in Montreal.

We just learned that the young Russian sensation will be at the Goplex in Brossard on February 11 for an autograph signing session.

The Montreal Canadiens forward is enjoying a dream rookie season, with 46 points in 57 NHL games played. That’s an impressive pace for a 20-year-old.

Let’s be honest, number 93 has already become the idol of an entire generation of fans here. He was even named the league’s Rookie of the Month for December, with 14 points to his name.

In February, the schedule gives us a bit of a breather with the Olympic break.

It’s the perfect opportunity for Demidov to connect with his new fanbase before the playoff push.

The event will take place at Goplex e-karting+, where he recently filmed a commercial speaking French. Let’s admit it—the Montreal Canadiens organization hit a home run with this guy.

A presence that’s getting people talking on the South Shore

Tickets are expected to sell out quickly for this Brossard event.

On the ice, his solid execution and quick transition game make him a dangerous player every time he steps on the ice. In fact, he often finishes games with a plus-minus rating of +7 or better this season.

You can feel that the rebuild is nearing its end and that raw talent is finally starting to pay off in the standings.

Montreal has shown rapid progress since the arrival of the Russian powerhouse in the lineup.
