Ivan Alexeyevich Demidov (Russian: Иван Алексеевич Демидов; born 10 December 2005) is a Russian professional ice hockey player who is a right winger for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the first round, fifth overall, by the Canadiens in the 2024 NHL entry draft.
Playing career
Russia
Born in Sergiyev Posad on 10 December 2005, Demidov began training at a young age, particularly with the DYUSSH Dmitrov youth team. His talent and commitment to the sport were demonstrated in his early performances across a variety of youth leagues and competitions, including the WSI U13 and U14 ranks. Demidov made waves with the Vityaz U16 team by the 2020–21 season, scoring 28 points in 11 games.
During the course of the 2022–23 Junior Hockey League (MHL) season, he played for SKA-1946 St. Petersburg alongside his older brother, Semyon, where they finished as the top two scorers of the team. The younger Demidov scored over 1.4 points per game (PPG), leading all skaters. He made his Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) debut with SKA Saint Petersburg at the age of 16 in November 2022, and also partook in the KHL All-Star Game the following month.
Over the course of the 2023–24 season, Demidov faced many setbacks, enduring three separate injuries which resulted in him missing half of the regular season. Nonetheless, he went on to lead his team to victory in the ensuing Kharlamov Cup and was named MVP for the second consecutive year, registering 60 points in only 30 games for an impressive 2.0 PPG pace.
The presumptive second overall pick entering the 2024 NHL entry draft due to his passing and goal-scoring abilities according to scouts, hockey insider Bob McKenzie speculated Demidov might fall on draft day as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He was ultimately selected fifth overall by the Montreal Canadiens, which was announced by prominent Canadian singer Celine Dion.
