- Hey AD, I'm Connor McDavid.
This is my girlfriend, Lauren.
- Welcome to our home in Edmonton. Come on in.
[upbeat music]
This is the king of the household, Leonard.
- We got him a couple of years ago.
He's just a little over two. He definitely runs the house.
[upbeat music]
- This used to be, I guess, my formal working space.
About a year ago, I transitioned to a new space
and it really became your office.
- You know, it's great to see her get out
and find an office that works for her
and continue to grow her company
and it looks a little cleaner now that it's my space, so.
- We love it in here.
These are one of my favorite light fixtures in the house,
they're Apparatus Studio.
Has a really nice view to the outdoors,
which is always nice when you're working,
getting some natural sunlight.
And of course, our favorite coffee table book,
the Architectural Digest book.
[upbeat music]
- Transition into the TV room,
love spending off days here, watching Sunday football
or, you know, anything like that.
I'm a big Friends fan, so definitely a great spot
to kind of lounge and get a little recovery.
- I mean, this is really where everyone congregates
whenever we have people over,
everyone's kind of all over this couch.
It's huge. It can fit a ton of people.
Our TV was concealed behind these big steel panels,
so you just push and slide open when you want to watch TV
and then you can close them off
if you're just looking for a nice feature wall.
I really, really like how these steel panels patinaed,
it kind of brings in that green and brown tones
that really match with a lot of our decor.
[upbeat music]
- Transition into the dining room
I don't have to go too far.
We have a lot of team dinners,
we always have a lot of family coming out to visit us,
so nice big dinner table to have nice big family meals
and we always love having people over.
- Behind this door is one of our favorite parts, the bar.
So you just basically pull this back
and there's a nice little hidden bar back there.
[upbeat music]
- This is our kitchen.
I think obviously the first thing that sticks out
about our kitchen is this big island.
Again, we talked about having people over
and this is another kind of great area for us
to kind of just hang out and have everybody all around
and you know, it's a definitely a spot that gets used a lot.
Laura is actually a great cook as well.
She's actually got a cookbook that she's working on.
- And I've got a great recipe tester, so it works perfectly.
Yeah, we really chose this black and white
kind of monochromatic palette with a lot of earthy tones
as subtle accents, just because the architecture
was really sleek and clean and we wanted to maintain that,
especially in the kitchen.
- Nice big fridge.
Basically, we got the Roy G. Biv situation.
We might've done this for you guys.
- I got to give a shout out to my guys over at BioSteel.
[upbeat music]
And I guess that kind of brings us
to the outside space here.
A little bit chilly out right now,
but we only get, - Yeah, winter's coming.
- [Connor] Yeah, we only get a couple of months
out of this spot, but yeah,
so this is kind of the indoor outdoor space,
which I certainly love.
- Leonard uses it for his like snow bed out here
but that's about it. - Yeah.
[upbeat music]
Welcome to the basement.
- Yeah, we kinda wanted to have this speakeasy vibe
because it's centralized and there's not a lot
of natural light that comes in,
so we thought we'd take advantage of that
and really bring in that moody feel to it
and then pops of color, obviously.
This is our new favorite sign.
I kind of got the inspiration from Kyle Richard's house,
I saw a very similar sign. I was like, that's just amazing.
And you know, Leonard really approves of it, as you can see.
We have a quite sizable selection of wine.
- When we first moved in,
we were just going to like liquor stores
and just trying to buy the coolest labels we could find.
So we actually, I have no idea if any of it's any good.
- We're trying to bring some colors in from the labels
into this piece of artwork, which I think is awesome,
it's by Florai and it just really brings to life
all this pop of color in the basement.
- Move over here, we got the pool table.
Whenever we have the guys all together,
it's a great way to kill an afternoon for sure.
- We got these three portraits back here,
Andy Warhol, Jimmy Hendrix and Jack Nicholson.
The photo's made up by their story
if you read really closely, some people actually stand here
for a while and get a good idea of what's going on.
[upbeat music]
- This is the guestroom, the main guestroom I would say.
Definitely when we get people or friends coming out,
they're usually calling dibs on this room.
- Not a lot of light, so people love that too,
because they can just sleep until noon
and not know it's noon.
Then as you walk around the corner,
it takes you to this big, nice expansive en suite.
In this bathroom, we really got to have a little bit of fun
with the design selections,
just because it is a guest bathroom
and we're not staying in it all the time,
won't get sick of it.
So we went with this really loud tile in here.
So it's really fun and great, expansive space for guests.
- This is the theater room, great for a nice, lazy off day.
Come in, watch a little bit of football, watch a movie.
You know, when you're in here, you kind of feel
like you're in your own private little movie theater.
And obviously, we like popcorn,
we got the popcorn machine there.
- We have quite opposite tastes of candy.
He likes the licorice and the raisins
which is an interesting choice.
And then, I'm all the good stuff.
- The sports court, probably my favorite part of the house.
We can't get outside that much during the winter
so it's a nice place to come and be active, you know,
rollerblade, play a little bit of hockey or basketball.
- Yeah, we've played a couple of good games of 21 in here
and I might've thrown on the goalie pads a couple of times.
- We had these massive stairs before
that took up a lot of space and we found, you know,
we'd be playing games and we needed this corner.
So, you know, these again were kind of the afterthought,
but they fold up like that.
Probably not the safest stairs in the world,
they're a little steep.
Not about safety in here, we're here to play, so.
[upbeat music]
Moving on to the gym here, this is a, you know,
a room that I spent a lot of time in.
- [Lauren] Especially in quarantine,
we spend a lot of time here.
I think at one point, some of your teammates
were coming here and using the gym.
- We hosted the bubble, the hockey bubble for COVID.
Unfortunately we were out a little bit earlier
than we would have liked and our rank was being used.
So this area became the Oilers home away from home.
We had a couple of guys training out of here
and rehabbing some injuries out of here.
So it worked out pretty good. - Yeah.
- Down in here- - It kind of wraps around
this corner and it gives you a nice view
into the sports court area over here.
- And this, of course, is the steamer.
So after a nice workout, it's nice to get in there
and sweat it out a bit.
[upbeat music]
So, welcome upstairs.
We got another place to lounge, of course.
- A little reading nook almost.
I love this space. It feels so cozy.
We turn the fireplace on and it's connected to the hot tub,
so we'll spend a lot of time in and out of this space.
We also have a TV that drops down
in front of that fireplace as well.
So everything in the house is kind of concealed and hidden.
- This is the patio, probably one of my favorite parts
of the whole house.
We got the hot tub here.
It can be hard to get some sleep after a game
and that certainly helps.
Really nice view here, kind of Edmonton's river valley here
right in front of us.
And it's actually the dog park down there
so we spend a lot of time there with Len and he sits up here
and guards us while we sit in the hot tub
with all the people walking by and all that, but.
Laura actually painted this, which I didn't even know about
until a few months until we moved in.
I think it's pretty good.
I'm not much of an art guy,
but I think it looks pretty good.
- We kept walking by and I was like,
"Well, what do you think of the new piece?"
- Yeah.
- This is the bedroom. We added in this custom-built bed.
We really wanted it to feel kind of like a hotel style bed.
We decided to put the TV in the foot of the bed.
So this will pop up.
- This TV definitely gets a lot of use here with,
we definitely like to watch shows before bed.
Although they say you shouldn't do that, but.
- And it makes room for a nice photo wall
of all of our family and friends
and a couple of photos of us
and many photos of Leonard, obviously.
[upbeat music]
- The bathroom here, this is definitely
a big enough bathroom for the two of us,
you know, a nice big shower.
- We originally had this nice and open,
but I think we're going to add a door on it
just because it doesn't stay as warm
as you would hope it to be.
Especially when it's like -25 in Edmonton.
- Big tub, I get sore legs so I'm not afraid to have a bath
to help ease that up and- - Yeah, you use the bath
like way more than, I think I've been in it once
and you've been in it like multiple times,
- I know, it's embarrassing. - so you love it.
[soft music]
- The closet.
- My favorite part of the house, probably.
It's kind of inspired by Yves Saint Laurent.
It's so bright and open
and we get to really see all of our clothing.
- Yeah, it's kind of my area over here, I got my shirts
and that's my whole thing here.
I got my suits back here and my shoes,
I'm a partner with Adidas and they do a great job
of sending me some shoes
and definitely don't have a shortage of picking shoes
[upbeat music]
- And off of our bedroom is this patio,
which we use pretty much every day I would say.
- We spend our summers back in Toronto
so, you know, kind of only here in the winter.
I mean, that's why we got all the heaters and the fireplace
and you know, it makes it feel really cozy,
but also does heat up the space pretty good.
- Yeah and we always use this guy right here.
It's a little two person infrared sauna.
We probably use it every day.
- Lauren's family actually has a little bit
of Finnish in them and they definitely have the sauna bug
and have passed it over to me.
- Yeah, this was one of my requirements, was a sauna.
We don't have a lake, but this will do.
[upbeat music]
- Thanks AD for coming by.
It's been nice having you guys
but I think it's time to get Len down to the dog park.
- Nice seeing you guys.
