Connor McDavid's wife Lauren teases husband Connor's pre-game rituals, reveals her "really silly" hockey superstitions

Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers are fighting to stay alive in the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers. The Oilers are down 3-2, and Game 6 will be played on Tuesday at Amerant Bank Arena. Last year, the Oilers also faced the Panthers and lost in seven games.

Connor McDavid’s wife, Lauren Kyle McDavid, shared in an interview with the Canadian Press on Monday her unique way of supporting him. She plans to stand by the fireplace in her downtown Edmonton bar while watching Game 6. It is the same spot where she watched McDavid score in Game 5.

She also wears the same heels and carries the same red handbag during games.

"It's a feeling and, if anything positive happens, you got to stay in that position. It's really silly, but everyone has superstitions," Lauren said.

Lauren said Connor McDavid also has his own pre-game habits. She said he does many things before games, but did not share details. She said she wants to keep that a secret.

"(Connor) does a lot of things before a game. He is extremely, extremely ritual based. But I'm going to actually leave that as a secret."

Lauren did not grow up as a big hockey fan. She is from Sudbury, Ontario. Her two brothers played hockey, but she was more interested in painting, photography, interior design, and architecture.

She studied fine arts at the University of British Columbia. She later studied interior design in Toronto. During that time, she met Connor McDavid through her cousin.
