Ha, Montreal is a hockey marker like no other.  
Demidov, 19, was drafted 5th overall last June, scored 49 pts in 65 games in the KHL, and earlier this week signed his entry level contract with the Habs and is evaded to the NHL.

It’s on.

If you’re a Habs fan and looking to show up to rookie Ivan Demidov’s first game wearing his no. 93, you’ll have to wait. 

The Montreal Canadiens’ official Tricolore Sports store is sold out in all sizes of the jersey after the team announced on Wednesday that Demidov would be the 30th player in NHL history to wear the number, according to Hockey Reference.

If you’re planning on hitting up Monday’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks, be ready to pay. 

The lowest priced tickets on Ticketmaster are going for $271.33 in the highest possible seats at the Bell Centre in section 422, row D.

For seats in the lower bowl, prepare to pay close to or over $1,000.

“It’s a beautiful thing,” said Habs fan Matt Busato-Viviani. “Playoff fever; nothing else like it.”

Various fans and beat reporters are on Demidov watch, suggesting the 19-year-old’s flight from Istanbul is headed for Toronto on Thursday, where he’ll join the rest of the Habs before their Saturday night game against the Leafs. 

“[It] takes a special type of weirdo to track Ivan Demidov’s flight to Canada and you think they’d be rare, but nope! They’re out there,” wrote one Ottawa Senators fan on X.
