Lauren Kyle McDavid is married to one of the world's most famous hockey players — but she's more than just a WAG
"Edmonton has changed exponentially [since I first moved here]," Lauren Kyle McDavid said on a Wednesday afternoon, donning a bare face and dark-rimmed glasses. Kyle McDavid, the wife of Edmonton Oilers star player Connor McDavid — or The Chosen One, McJesus or McSaviour, as he's referred to in Oil Country — is calling from her Trove Living office. "When I first started dating Connor, [...] the downtown really wasn't developed whatsoever," she said. "Now, with the new rink and all of the new developments and businesses that are flooding into the downtown core, it's a lot more vibrant. More walkable. It's more communal. There's a sense of vibrancy and action. It's changed tremendously." Kyle McDavid, an interior designer and entrepreneur, hopes to contribute to the city's revitalized downtown area with her two new businesses: Bar Trove, a European-inspired bar, and Trove Living, a furniture showroom. Have you ever wondered what the world's most interesting, successful and talented people are adding to their shopping carts? Yahoo Canada's new series, , is exploring just that. From the supplement regime of professional athletes to supermodel-approved skincare, this is what celebrities actually spend their money on. "I want Trove to be a place that you feel really comfortable to walk in, somewhere you feel transported in," she told Yahoo Canada over a video call. "A place that is a go-to spot to spend time, connect and be with friends in the community." Originally from Sudbury, Ont., Kyle McDavid has immersed herself in Edmonton life — and the city's enthusiastic hockey culture — since the Oilers drafted her soon-to-be boyfriend, Connor McDavid, for their 2015-16 season. The couple began dating shortly thereafter in 2016 and married in a "timeless" ceremony in Muskoka, Ont., in July 2024 Edmonton has the "best fans," she said. They're "very passionate people. I love that everyone feels a sense of identity with the team; they feel at home." Attending games as the wife of the Oilers' most famous player — and having a large social media presence of her own — comes with a "built-in pressure," Kyle McDavid said. The McDavids are household names in Edmonton, but the Trove Living founder doesn't let the pressure get to her. "I continue to be myself and not let the public eye affect how I show up for things," she said. "For me, going to the games after I have a really busy day of work, my social battery gets filled." In addition to Bar Trove and Trove Living, Kyle McDavid launched Sports Club Atelier, a premium sportswear brand, in December 2024. "I wanted to create something that I wanted to wear myself. I go to so many games, and it's fun to dress up as a fan, but I want to dress as a fan [in a way] that I feel comfortable and I feel like I'm expressing my personal style," she said. From her favourite Sports Club Atelier jacket to a $110 hand soap that she's "oddly" obsessed with, here are five things Lauren Kyle McDavid is Adding to Cart. "I've adapted to the weather now that I've been here for so long, but as I was going back and forth [to southern Ontario] when I was dating Connor, [Alberta's dry weather] was such a shock to the system. My lips would get so chapped, it would look so bad," she said. "I use this grapeseed oil whenever I'm super dry. It's from First Aid Beauty. It's super hydrating. Anytime I'm a little patchy with dry patches or dry spots, I put that on and it helps tremendously." "I always wear [Alo Yoga's] sweatsuit sets because I feel like they're a bit more dressed up for a sweatsuit set," Kyle McDavid said. "You can almost wear it out or wear it to work. If I don't have a heavy day of meetings, I'll throw that on." "I'm not the best with a skincare routine, but I like using tools, like red light," Kyle McDavid told Yahoo Canada. "I think it's really important. Gua sha is really important. You noticeably see a difference when you use them because your face feels more sculpted and less swollen." "With all the travelling I do, it's important to stay on [top of] those routines," she added. "[I use] NuFace a lot. Medicube is another one that I use for overall skin health. I use my Kala Red Light Face Mask every couple of nights. I use them religiously for skin health." "Oddly, I love my hand soap in our powder room," Kyle McDavid said over a video chat. "It's this tomato hand soap [from Loewe] that smells so unique and fresh. There's also one from Flamingo Estates that has a similar scent that's a little less bougie." Kyle McDavid launched Sports Club Atelier because she "saw a gap in the market that needed to be filled with more fashion-forward athleticwear pieces," she told Yahoo Canada. "I wanted to create something that I wanted to wear myself. I go to so many games and it's fun to dress up as a fan, but I want to dress as a fan [in a way] that I feel comfortable and I feel like I'm expressing my personal style." Currently, Sports Club Atelier includes Edmonton Oilers-themed styles, but eventually, Kyle McDavid hopes to expand to other NHL teams and sports. Her favourite piece right now? "The orange suede jacket or the utility jacket."

Connor McDavid's wife Lauren Kyle reveals bold vision for Bar Trove while tackling historic design challenges
Lauren Kyle McDavid (Image via her IG) In a promising move to re-energize Edmonton's city core, designer and entrepreneur Lauren Kyle McDavid' Bar Trove—her much-anticipated new venture inside the iconic Canada Permanent building. The downtown spot, which combines a cocktail bar, furniture showroom, and curated office space, is slated to opened on mid-May 2025 and is already drawing significant buzz thanks to Kyle McDavid's star power and thoughtful vision. Lauren Kyle McDavid's bold downtown revival Speaking to CTV News Edmonton in early April, Kyle McDavid shared insights on the creative and logistical challenges of transforming the heritage-listed 1910 building on 100 Street, just north of Jasper Avenue. Her mission? To breathe new life into the space while respecting its legacy. 'There are hoops to go around with the historic committee, signage, putting in HVAC,' she said. 'All of those are interesting hoops to run through, but really, the biggest thing for us is just keeping the historic feel while making it feel fresh and new.' That balance between old and new lies at the heart of Bar Trove's identity. Kyle McDavid envisions the establishment not just as a bar but as a stylish destination that entices both locals and visitors to explore downtown Edmonton once again. Her commitment goes beyond aesthetics; it's about helping shape a more vibrant, walkable downtown experience. 'Downtown's changed a lot in the past eight years since the rink (Rogers Place) was put in downtown,' she reflected. 'I think the city is slowly but surely just trying to keep working on making it more of a hub and making it more of a walkable space... and more of an enjoyable place for people who are visiting and experiencing Edmonton for the first time.' Also Read: Connor McDavid's wife sparks outrage with anti-Panthers 'rat' jab after Oilers' embarrassing defeat Bar Trove, combined with Trove Living and collaborative office spaces, is more than a business—it's part of a larger effort to restore energy and style to Edmonton's urban heart.
