The Edmonton Oilers player was filmed having fun at the wedding after-party, dancing on the shoulders of teammate Zach Hyman. The video was posted online by Canadian DJs LoudLuxury, although the original is no longer available on their TikTok account.
Copies of the video were shared on social media. In a version posted on X, McDavid can be seen jumping from the DJ booth to the dance floor on Hyman’s shoulders, surrounded by friends.
The following text can be seen in the video: “Connor McDavid finally refutes the accusations that he is a ‘boring hockey guy.'”
On Reddit, users argued about McDavid’s behavior in the comments on a post containing the video.
“But even if McDavid is a ‘boring hockey guy,’ who cares. He’s the best player in the world,” one person wrote.
“He has no verbal personality, that’s why he’s boring,” another person wrote on Reddit.

“He’s still a little boring now and then, but nowhere near as much as he was in his first few seasons,” the person wrote.
Meanwhile, more videos and photos have been released from the wedding itself, showing the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, ceremony, reception, and more from the after-party. Kyle shared clips from each event in a series of videos on Instagram.
Muskoka is special to the couple because they got engaged there, Kyle told Vogue Australia. The wedding took place on Old Woman Island, a 16-acre island in Lake Muskoka, property rental company Jayne’s Luxury Rentals said in a Facebook post.

“It was a 10-day production, four events in different locations and building infrastructure on an island with only boat access,” said Kyle.
“I was really into every little detail of the wedding. I wanted everything we did to have meaning.”
The festivities began with a rehearsal dinner on a historic steamboat cruising the lake.
“We asked our guests to come dressed in ‘old money’ themed clothing to enhance the charm of the steamship,” she told Vogue.
In total, Kyle wore five dresses from luxury brands, including labels such as Chloe, Ralph Lauren and Vivienne Westwood.
The night ended with the afterparty, which Kyle described as a “disco dream” with LoudLuxury.
