It's been just two months since he was selected by the Canadiens, and we are already starting to appreciate him as a person, even though we already admired him as a player.
It's safe to say: the young man knows how to win people over, and he's just confirmed he's doing it for the right reasons.
A few weeks ago, Andrei Markov advised Ivan Demidov to learn French to endear himself to the fans.
It seems that the forward took the advice to heart, as he is already learning French through YouTube, even while being thousands of miles away from Montreal.
Ivan Demidov is thus already preparing for his arrival in Montreal and clearly intends to understand and communicate.
While the French language is becoming less prominent in the metropolis, Quebec is a bilingual province where French is dominant. His effort at such a young age speaks volumes about his maturity.
