Former hockey goaltender turned social media sensation Mikayla Demaiter has once again captured the internet’s attention, this time with a viral Instagram post that fans are calling her most stunning yet.
The 25-year-old model, widely dubbed the “world’s sexiest hockey player,” shared a carousel of images recently that immediately trended across social media platforms. In the photos, Demaiter poses in a form-fitting white jumpsuit with a high neckline and wide-leg bottoms, captioning the post with her signature confidence: “the reason you believe in love at first sight.”
The post, which features Demaiter posing in a bathroom setting—including a full-length mirror shot and a pose perched on the edge of a bathtub—racked up thousands of likes and comments within minutes. Fans flooded the comments section with praise, with some comparing her to actress Sydney Sweeney and others declaring her “the total package.”
Demaiter’s pivot from athletics to modeling has been a lucrative and high-profile transition. A former goaltender for the Bluewater Hawks in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League, she was forced to retire from the sport in 2019 at the age of 19 due to a career-ending knee injury. In a farewell letter to the sport at the time, she wrote, “It is time to turn the page and move to the next chapter of my life.”
That next chapter has seen her amass over 3 million followers on Instagram and a massive audience on TikTok. While she has traded her goalie pads for haute couture and swimwear, Demaiter frequently nods to her athletic roots, maintaining a unique niche that bridges the gap between sports culture and high-fashion influencing.
Her latest post continues a streak of viral content that has kept her in the headlines throughout 2025, solidifying her status as one of Canada’s most prominent digital creators.
