Ivan Demidov, a young prospect for the Montreal Canadiens known for his offensive talent, recently surprised by declaring that he is ready to fight if necessary.
In an interview with the official MHL site, he stated:
"I don't look to drop the gloves, but if your opponent is looking for it, you have to fight." - Ivan Demidov
This combative attitude could quickly make him popular with both his teammates and Montreal fans.
Last season, Demidov was involved in a bench-clearing brawl in the KHL after dropping the gloves, although he admits he mostly improvised due to his lack of technique.
Although he doesn't actively seek out fights, it is clear that he is ready to defend his teammates if needed.
This determination shows his character and commitment to the team.
