Mikayla Demaiter’s impressive new hockey video caused something of a stir this week.
Much in the same way Olivia Dunne is the biggest influencer in gymnastics and Paige Spiranac is the biggest name in golf, Demaiter is hockey’s most notable social media star.
Over the past few months Demaiter has blown up online for everything ranging from her racy outfit choices to her very provocative tribute to Michael Jordan.
This week, she did it again.
On Thursday Demaiter took to social media to share a video of herself on the ice wearing goalie pads. It proved to be an instant hit:

While Demaiter’s video didn’t get the sort of engagement Dunne’s wardrobe malfunction video got, it was still a big hit online.
And it really speaks to her growing popularity.

It shot up massively in 2023 and seems to be following a similar trajectory in 2024.
What will Demaiter ultimately go viral for next? Time will tell.
