Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl continue to pair up on and off the ice. On Sunday, the Oilers superstars went to enjoy the Canadian Rodeo with their partners Lauren Kyle and Celeste Desjardins.

Connor McDavid’s wife Lauren Kyle posted a series of pictures and clips from the night on Instagram stories. It was the last day of the 50th Canadian Finals Rodeo at Edmonton, with cowboys and cowgirls contesting for the Canadian Championship Titles.

The first image was a snap taken from the gallery as the crowd watched the Steer Wrestling event at Rogers Place. Steer wrestling is a rodeo event in which a rider, known as a bulldogger,"chases a steer on horseback, leaps off the horse onto the steer and then wrestles it to the ground by grabbing its horns.

She then posted a clip of a rodeo performer with a lasso. The other two pictures were behind-the-scenes close-ups of two beautifully saddled gray and brown horses waiting backstage.
