Minor Scare Involving Ivan Demidov in Brossard Leads to Lighthearted Moment

As we reported earlier, Demidov was so eager to hit the ice today that he started skating while the Zamboni was still finishing its rounds.

That said, we did have a bit of a scare involving Demidov in the past few hours, and for a very rare moment, let's just say it wasn't exactly pretty to watch.

The footage was shared by Frank Well Le Podcast Hockey, which we love!

Fortunately, it turned out to be nothing more than a little scare, and rest assured, young Demidov is in perfect health.

So we can chalk it up as one of the summer's bloopers, and even the guys on the ice found it pretty funny.

Let's just say we're used to seeing much more impressive clips from Demidov.

Speaking of the young forward, let's not forget he'll be in action tonight in the LSHL, alongside Alex Carrier, Nick Suzuki, Patrik Laine, and Jake Evans.

Ivan Demidov, just 19 years old, is a 6-foot-1, 192-pound forward who was drafted 5th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in 2024.

Last season, he tallied 2 points in 2 games with the Canadiens (plus 2 points in 5 playoff games) and added 54 points in 71 games in the KHL (regular season + playoffs).

He's already the frontrunner for the 2025-26 NHL Rookie of the Year award-imagine that. We seriously can't wait to see him in action this fall.
