Kyle's influence stretches beyond design. Her growing online presence is part of a larger movement where sports spouses are leveraging platforms like Instagram to build brands, lead ventures, and shape narratives. As Judy Liao, a University of Alberta professor, explained: 'The resurgence of WAGs is really because of social media... a really important place to construct and show people themselves as a person, not just a profession.

Cheri Bradish of Future Sport Lab added, 'She's a part of this whole community and whole industry of influencers.'

The icon that she is, Beyonce handled the situation with grace. The Single Ladies crooner did not miss a beat as she bent down to pick up her chaps.

Wayne Gretzky is all praise for Connor McDavid, calling him the NHL's best player
Gretzky hails McDavid as NHL's best after Game 1 heroics in Stanley Cup Final (Image via: Getty Images) Connor McDavid's Game 1 heroics in the Stanley Cup Final didn't just electrify fans, it drew powerful praise from hockey royalty. Wayne Gretzky, the ultimate NHL icon, publicly applauded McDavid's performance and leadership, sparking renewed debate over whether the Oilers captain is already carving out a legacy fit to follow the 'Great One' himself. Gretzky's praise sparks a hockey conversation bigger than Game 1 In the aftermath of Edmonton's dramatic 4-3 overtime win against the Florida Panthers in Game 1, the NHL world wasn't just buzzing about the scoreline. It was Wayne Gretzky's glowing comments on The Pat McAfee Show that truly lit up the conversation. The four-time Stanley Cup winner didn't hesitate to crown Connor McDavid as the best player in hockey today—a title that carries immense weight coming from the greatest to ever lace up skates. 'There's no question he's the best player in hockey,' Gretzky said with conviction. 'He's an unselfish young man. He loves playing in Edmonton, he loves being the captain of the Oilers. He wants desperately to win a Stanley Cup—that's all he wants.' This wasn't just casual admiration. It was a ringing endorsement from a man whose own career helped define an era of dominance in Edmonton. Gretzky's praise felt personal—an acknowledgment of both McDavid's skill and his character. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tan Thoi Nhat: Beautiful New Senior Apartments with Two Bedrooms Senior Apartments | Search Ads Search Now Undo And with McDavid delivering two crucial assists in Game 1, including the setup for Leon Draisaitl's game-winning goal, the statement felt timely. But the conversation goes deeper than one night. McDavid has often been described as a generational talent, and his numbers back it up. Still, championships have eluded him until now, perhaps. With Edmonton chasing its first Cup since 1990, the pressure is intense, and Gretzky's words could either empower or overwhelm. The comparison is inevitable. Gretzky led the Oilers dynasty of the 1980s. McDavid is now tasked with reviving that legacy in a vastly different, faster, more competitive NHL. Is this the torch being officially passed or is it still too early to declare McDavid as heir to Gretzky's throne?
