McDavid's hometown abuzz ahead of Game 7 | CTV News Toronto at Noon for June 24, 2024

The elementary school that Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid once attended is abuzz with excitement ahead of Monday night’s Stanley Cup Final.

“Everything is Oilers. Everything is Connor,” Charlene Delaney, who taught McDavid in Grade 1 and Grade 6 at Newmarket’s Clearmeadow Public School, told CTV News Toronto. “It's palpable here.”

The 27-year-old centre and captain of the Oilers, now in his ninth season of NHL play, will lead the team into Game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs against the Florida Panthers on Monday night. It’s been a long journey for McDavid – one that the Newmarket community, along with the students and staff at Clearmeadow, have supported him on, every step of the way.
