In Photos: Connor McDavid's "summer for the books" headlined by Muskoka wedding to Lauren Kyle
Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid has had a long and memorable offseason with family and friends. From his wedding to longtime partner Lauren Kyle to waterboarding in Alberta, McDavid has made memories of a lifetime this summer.
On Thursday, Connor McDavid posted a carousel of pictures on his Instagram with a highlight roll of special moments from the offseason. In the caption, he wrote:
“A summer for the books.”
The first picture is a black and white still, where McDavid is seen with his groomsmen, all dressed in classic black tuxedos. In another shot, Connor McDavid and his bride Lauren Kyle posed alongside their wedding party. The bridesmaids were all dressed in white gowns, while the groomsmen sported sharp tuxedos.
McDavid shared a third picture where the newly married couple sat together after the wedding party. He posted another click from the rehearsal dinner where all the men were wearing beige suits with drinks in their hands.
There was an aerial shot of their well-decorated outdoor wedding setup, with white floral arrangements lining a green walkway surrounded by water. Other than the wedding, Connor McDavid also shared a snap with Lauren Kyle from ex-Oiler Warren Foegele’s engagement party during the summer.
The McDavids also went sailing this season and he shared a photo of himself driving a boat, dressed casually in a white cap and hoodie. He posted candid shots with family from the time they went to enjoy authentic Italian wood-fired pizzas.
One snap showed McDavid gathered with close family sitting by a fire pit, with a serene sunset in the background. The last picture was of his dog Lenard, possibly taken when they were walking down a wooden trail.
Connor McDavid and Leon Draisatl attended the Elks’ game with their partners
Earlier this week, Connor McDavid and Lauren Kyle went on a double date with Connor’s teammate Leon Draisatl and his fiancee Celeste Desjardins. The two couples attend the Edmonton Elks' CFL game at the Commonwealth Stadium.
Lauren Kyle posted pictures from their outing on her Instagram story. The official X handle of the CFL also featured their presence on their social media account.
“Hockey sensations in the house! 🏒 Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid from the @EdmontonOilers are taking in today's CFL action!,” tweeted CFL official.
Earlier last season, the Oilers lost the Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers in a seven game heartbreaking loss. This time Connor McDavid and Leon Draisatl will be looking to come back stronger than ever to lift the trophy at Rogers Arena.
