Former hockey goaltender Mikayla Demaiter has gone from playing goalie in the PWHL to becoming a full-time Instagram model, and she’s killing it.

Back in 2019, Demaiter was forced to change career paths after suffering a devastating knee injury that ended her career as a goaltender.

Demaiter bid farewell to the sport she loved in an emotional Instagram post in 2019.

“Dear Hockey, It is time to say goodbye. 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.

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.”

Fast forward nearly four years later, and Demaiter is an Internet sensation boasting 1.6 million followers on Instagram.

This week, the former hockey goalie went viral after her latest pic set the Internet on fire.

It’s easy to see why Demaiter is so popular just by browsing her Instagram page.
