Demski also registered 84 punt returns for 729 yards and one touchdown through his first three CFL seasons.

The 2017 season saw him play in nine regular season games including six starts, while hauling in 19 receptions for 222 yards and one major. Demski suffered an injury in week 11 and missed the remainder of the season.

The Winnipeg native spent four seasons with the University of Manitoba Bisons and was named a CIS All-Canadian and Canada West All-Star in all four seasons.
