    EDMONTON – “This series was meant to be hard.”

    It’s not easy being married to the greatest player in the world – but that’s the exact situation that Lauren Kyle has signed up for.

    Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid and Lauren tied the knot in the summer of 2024. However, they have been together for nearly a decade.

    Naturally, when you are with a hockey player for so long, their (often) superstitious nature can rub off on you. In a recent interview, Lauren shared one of her game-day habits.

    “I’m definitely superstitious, so while I’m watching the game, I need to stand in a specific place,” Lauren revealed. “And if I move around and they (the other team) score, I have to get back into my spot. So I’m superstitious in that way.”

    But Lauren isn’t the only one. The other WAGs (wives and girlfriends) also have their own superstitions.

    “I think all of the girls are superstitious in that way,” Lauren explains. “There’s specific places that we’ve seen the games that we won’t go to again because they lost the game.”

    “We are all very superstitious; that’s our way of feeling like we have a little control.”

    Learning about things like this adds more color to the perception of these individuals. It’s always great to hear about these tidbits.
