Mikayla Demaiter is back at it on Instagram and back leaving Dfans speechless with her latest viral pics.
Demaiter, 23, is a Canadian former hockey goaltender whose career got cut short after a devastating injury.
She addressed the injury and her subsequent retirement on Instagram shortly after it happened.
“Dear Hockey, It is time to say goodbye,” she said in the post announcing her retirement. It is time to turn the page and move to the next chapter of my life, for the first time you will not be my number one focus,” she said in a retirement post in 2019. “I want to thank you for the places we’ve gone together. I also want to thank you for all the friends you have made me. My family sends their best as well. I know they will definitely miss seeing us together. I am excited for the future because everything you have taught me will allow me to succeed. There will still be early mornings, new adventures and new friends, and I hope that I embrace them with the same love and passion I did for you. Thanks again for everything.”
She quickly pivoted to modeling and the move has more than paid off. Demaiter has more than 2.8 million followers on Instagram and it feels like that number is growing with each passing day.
“Leaving you at a loss for words one post at a time,” the caption read. But clearly her followers had plenty to say, because the post picked up nearly 180,000 likes and over 4,000 comments in under 24 hours.
Demaiter’s career may not have panned out how she imagined it. But it sure seems like she’s got a pretty good thing going.
