Connor McDavid is a huge fan of sitcom "Friends"

The Edmonton Oilers star forward is a big "Friends" fan, and whenever he gets some time off from the hectic schedule of the NHL, he enjoys watching the show with his friends and long-time girlfriend Lauren Kyle.

McDavid also mentioned the television show "Friends" in the Architecture Digest video of him providing a tour of his lavish home. McDavid plugged the iconic show while showing his television room. He added the space was also used for Sunday Night Football games.

In 2021, his long-time girlfriend Lauren Kyle uploaded a photo to her Instagram in which she, McDavid, and two of his other teammates were dressed up as characters from the television show "Friends" for Halloween.

In the post, Lauren can be seen dressed as Phoebe, Connor McDavid as Chandler, Draisaitl as Joey, and Nugent-Hopkins as Ross. The humble personality of the Oilers' captain makes Chandler's character suit him very well.
