It’s always a good time to take a look at some of the many, many Ivan Demidov highlights from his dominant time in the MHL.

Calum Ritchie is aiming to make the Colorado Avalanche this fall. Even if he does and manages to stick past the nine game tryout, there’s always the chance that the team releases him to play in the World Juniors in December.
