New Oilers CEO Shares a Funny McDavid Story

"There's a funny story that I can't stop thinking about," Jackson said when asked about McDavid. "I believe it was after he won his first Hart, Lindsay, and Art Ross Trophies. We were in Vegas for the awards, I went to the draft, and he went home."

"It was a Tuesday, and he went to the ice and texted me, 'I feel like crap.' But he had just won all those awards. Then Adam, who worked with me at Wasserman, went over to Connor's parent's place to deliver something. He rang the front doorbell, and the garage door went up. He looked inside, and there was Connor, in his rollerblades, at his mom and dad's place, even though he didn't live there anymore. He was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, working on his game, and refining his skills. That sort of thing exemplifies what he's all about."
