Connor McDavid's Wife Tears Up as Oilers Forward Bids Farewell

Connor McDavid's Wife Tears Up as Oilers Forward Bids Farewell originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As Connor Brown closed the chapter on his time with the Edmonton Oilers, a message from Connor McDavid's wife, Lauren Kyle, captured the attention of Oilers fans and sparked a new wave of speculation. Brown, who signed a four-year, $12 million deal with the New Jersey Devils, posted a farewell on Instagram this week. 'Thank you to the fans for two incredible years and unwavering support. Edmonton will always hold a very special place in our hearts,' Brown wrote. 'Ready for a new chapter and excited to be a @njdevils 👀😈' Kyle responded quickly to Brown's farewell message, posting her own reply on the player's post on Instagram, and she couldn't hold her emotions. '😭💙🧡' Kyle posted first, before adding, 'Oil for life.' The latter comment instantly drew massive interest and 745 likes. Outside of Instagram, some fans interpreted Kyle's comment as a potential signal of McDavid's long-term intentions. Some viewed Kyle's phrase as an emotional tribute to Brown's tenure, while others saw it as something more pointed — possibly a subtle message that McDavid, who is entering his final season under contract, is about to re-sign a long-term deal with Edmonton. While it's fair to assume that Lauren Kyle was saying something akin to "once an Oiler, always an Oiler,' as other franchises' fan bases have used before, some fans jumped to early conclusions regarding McDavid's future. Brown, meanwhile, played a key role during Edmonton's back-to-back runs to the Stanley Cup Final, tallying 13 goals and 30 points in the regular season and adding nine more in the playoffs, appearing in 20 games. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

Music icon Shania Twain on Calgary Flames goalie Dustin Wolf: ‘He's the cutest!'

One of Shania Twain's famous lyrics is, 'That don't impress me much.' In a post on social media site X on Monday, Twain was singing a much different tune about Calgary Flames rising-star goaltender Dustin Wolf. A person shared a photo of Wolf at the Calgary Stampede chuckwagon races in a 'Let's Go Girls' shirt, a reference to a line from another of Twain's chart-topping hits, and the Canadian country-music icon replied: 'He's the cutest!' She even added a heart-eyes emoji. Not surprisingly, that post is racking up likes online. Among the replies, one fan wrote: 'A freakin' great goalie as well!!! #Flames' Wolf was the runner-up this past season for the Calder Trophy as the NHL's rookie of the year and nearly backstopped the Flames to a surprise playoff berth. The 24-year-old netminder has been hanging around the city for most of the off-season and seemingly was swept up in the excitement of the Calgary Stampede, spotted at both the rodeo and chuckwagon races. Twain was the Stampede parade marshal this year, something that the 59-year-old from Timmins, Ont., described as 'a dream of mine for a very long time.' She also played a concert last Saturday at the Scotiabank Saddledome, where Wolf shines in the goal crease through the winter months.
