Ivan Demidov has been in Toronto since last night.
Today, he officially visited the Hall of Fame. Ah no, sorry, I’m 20 years ahead.
Today, he visited the Hall of Fame. That’s it. His partner posted photos on her Instagram account and Jean Trudel shared them on X.
That’s it. First thing Demidov and his wife visited in Toronto: The habs Hall of Fame and the replica of the habs dressing room. #gohabsgo pic.twitter.com/blJYoX4M6T

For those who have visited the Hall of Fame in Toronto, you will recall that the legendary habs dressing room is not hard to miss.
Of course, the Russian’s girlfriend posted a photo of part of the dressing room.
They also visited the area near the end of the tour where you can find the individual trophies and, of course, the Stanley Cup. Let’s hope he didn’t touch it… Let’s remember that habs players are very superstitious and touching the Cup before winning it brings bad luck.
A few hours after the habs’ victory over the Golden Knights on June 24, 2021, I wrote a post about how Nick Suzuki’s father had forbidden his son from touching the prestigious trophy. This superstition is not a joke!
Demidov took advantage of his short stay in Toronto to visit the best museum for sports fans. Did he also visit the CN Tower? Two great tourist attractions for people who have never set foot in the Queen City.
Tomorrow, the one who will probably not speak to the media tomorrow, could jump onto the ice as part of the team’s optional practice. To be continued.

– Great performance.
My sources tell me that there are several recruiters in Moncton tonight and that even the GM of the #Penguins Kyle Dubas came to watch Caleb Desnoyers.
Desnoyers already has two goals halfway through the game vs BC #LHJMQ #NHLDraft2025
