Connor McDavid's wife reveals Sportsnet analyst Luke Gazdic set up the couple
In a rinkside interview with ESPN during the 4 Nations Faceoff, Lauren McDavid opened up on the beginning of her relationship with Connor, and even being set up by former teammate Luke Gazdic.
You know who Luke Gazdic is? We're like kind of on a blind date in Toronto. That was 10 years ago now, he was 18, I was 19. It was funny because I had to use my ID to get us a bottle of wine because he was underage.

Still only 35 years old, Gazdic is now a regular on Sportsnet as an analyst for Oilers games. He played parts of three seasons with the Oilers between 2013 and 2016, and despite only scoring 5 goals and 8 points, he was a great guy in the locker room that's clearly left his mark in the Oilers lore.
It's fun to hear how the Oilers captain met his now-wife in a blind date scenario set up by a teammate. It's hilarious to imagine a young superstar McDavid asking his date to pull her ID for a drink, too.
Lauren McDavid settling into life in Edmonton for the long term is good sign for Connor contract extension
Connor and Lauren got married this summer in a very private ceremony in the Muskokas in Ontario, and since then, the couple has been putting down roots in Edmonton.
Lauren has started a bar and restaurant in downtown Edmonton, as well as apparel collaborations with the Oilers and her own fashion line. All of these commitments to the city of Edmonton indicate they plan on being here long term, including a contract extension for McDavid.
It's great to see the Oilers superstar thriving off the ice and putting down roots for a long career in Edmonton.
