You won’t believe what McDavid did immediately after signing his $100 million deal

When Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid announced his brand new eight-year, $100 million deal he was all smiles. The next morning, he was in the gym earning every last penny he made. According to a report from Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, McDavid caught the earliest flight he could to avoid missing out on his workout routine.

Check it out:

"Great summer rumour that was confirmed last week: the morning after Connor McDavid signed his $100 million contract, he took the earliest flight back to Toronto so he didn’t miss a workout with Gary Roberts. “We spent the night in Edmonton, so with the time difference, it was a little tricky,” the Oilers captain said. You went right from the airport to go see Roberts? “Yes. Absolutely nothing has changed. I would have done it playing in junior, so it’s still what I do now.”

Is it any wonder that this kid is such a superstar? There’s no doubt that he’s supremely talented, but it’s his tireless work ethic and his willingness to do whatever it takes to get better is what truly separates him from the rest of the NHL.
