Clearly, Ivan Demidov and his partner seem extremely happy to have arrived in Canada.

You may have already heard about it, but the lovebirds chose to visit the Hockey Hall of Fame as their very first activity on Canadian soil! Wow.

That says a lot about Demidov’s mindset and is quite a meaningful gesture.

But that’s obviously not all.

Demidov is on a mission.

I also want to tell you about another small gesture that says a lot.

Ivan Demidov and his girlfriend have started learning French

I love it!

Demidov and his girlfriend must first make sure they fully master English, so it would be easy for them to focus only on that-but no!

On top of English, the young couple is also committed to learning the basics of French.

Once again, this is a meaningful gesture by both Demidov and his girlfriend to properly integrate into Montreal and Quebec.

I get the feeling they have no plans to leave Quebec anytime soon, and that’s obviously wonderful news for all of us!

If Demidov is indeed in uniform tomorrow night at the Bell Centre, I can’t even imagine the incredible welcome he’ll receive!

I know I’m repeating myself, but especially considering they also have to learn English fluently, I find this incredibly impressive from these two young people.

It says a lot about them and their intentions for the future.
