A longtime NHL Russian scout on Ivan Demidov back in May.
What do you know about him off the ice and his work ethic?
"What impresses me about him is his personality. He's a great guy; everyone loves him. In the locker room, he's a true leader, He's a guy who wants to do everything to get success in hockey.
His daily routine is like this : He comes to the rink and has a two-hour warmup, practices, then stays on the rink, maybe sleeps a bit, and then an hour in the gym. If they give it to him, he'll spend additional time on the ice or he will go off ice and go to the shooting room. He's very dedicated."
