Demidov, Dobes Land on NHL All-Rookie Team

Ivan Demidov and Jakub Dobes have been named to the 2025-26 NHL All-Rookie Team, which is a nice way of saying they forced their way into the conversation. Recognition like this matters because it reflects not just promise, but real first-year impact against the best league in the world. Montreal keeps getting rewarded for its young talent, and Dobes gives the list a little more variety with a goalie’s name in the spotlight.
