Ivan Demidov and his girlfriend took a trip to this popular destination

The 2024-2025 season wasn’t all plain sailing for the Montreal Canadiens’ new crown jewel, Ivan Demidov.

The youngster spent most of the year at home in Russia, working off the last of his contract with the KHL’s SKA St. Petersburg. He then played in the playoffs with his team, having been eliminated early in the first round.

The fifth overall pick in the 2024 NHL draft flew to Montreal after the playoffs on the other continent, crossing the globe to make the jump to North America last April. And that’s not forgetting Demidov’s baptism on the Bettman circuit, both in the regular season and in the playoffs. So, let’s face it, he’s had quite an eventful few weeks.

Many thought he’d be heading home to Russia to rest up, but he doesn’t seem to have any plans to return for the time being.

With this in mind, he has decided to take a break in the warm southern sun, under the terms of the 2024-2025 calendar, by treating himself to a little trip with his girlfriend Katya.

In fact, the dashing lovebirds recently shared a photo on social networks, to share their current travel dynamic, as they flew to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

A great way to celebrate his brand-new contract (and life) with the Habs.
