There’s some wonderful news in the life of Connor McDavid: The Edmonton Oilers’ captain and superstar is engaged.
McDavid’s girlfriend, Lauren Kyle, revealed in an Instagram post that the couple got engaged over the weekend. McDavid and Kye have been together for almost eight years, she noted in the Instagram caption.

Congrats to McDavid and Kyle!
The 25-year-old McDavid is coming off yet another historic season for the Oilers. He put up career bests in goals (64) and points (153) to run away with a third consecutive scoring title, as well as the fifth of his career.
McDavid led his Oilers to the postseason for a fourth straight year, but they were ousted by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights in the second round. It certainly wasn’t at the fault of McDavid, who had 20 playoff points in just 12 games.

McDavid was widely considered to be the best hockey prospect since Sidney Crosby 10 years earlier when the Oilers drafted him first overall in 2015. McDavid has lived up to that hype in every way possible, with five scoring titles and likely a third Hart Trophy coming his way to go along with five All-Star selections.
For his career, the future Hall of Famer has 303 goals and 850 points in jut 569 NHL games.
