IT IS DONE: Edmonton Oilers’ Connor McDavid & NBA Star Stephen Curry Stun Fans and Leave Head Coach Kris Knoblauch Speechless with Major Announcements Concerning… 👇👇

Edmonton, AB – July 6, 2025

In a moment that left fans across two major sports leagues stunned and Edmonton Oilers’ head coach Kris Knoblauch utterly speechless, superstars Connor McDavid and NBA legend Stephen Curry took the stage together today for a joint announcement that no one saw coming.

The bombshell?
McDavid and Curry are teaming up — not on the ice or court, but in the business and sports innovation world. The two icons revealed the launch of “NextPlay Sports Lab,” a cutting-edge athlete performance and training facility set to break ground in Edmonton this fall.

“This isn’t just about hockey or basketball,” McDavid said. “It’s about pushing human performance to the next level — mentally, physically, and technologically.”

The project, backed by a $150 million investment group including tech leaders and former pro athletes, aims to become a global hub for multi-sport development, sports science, recovery tech, and youth mentorship. It will also serve as a bridge between NHL and NBA training practices — something McDavid and Curry say is long overdue.

Stephen Curry, known for redefining basketball with his shooting range and work ethic, added:

“Connor and I have always respected each other’s drive. What we’re doing here is creating a legacy far beyond the game.”

Coach Knoblauch, present at the press conference and visibly stunned, could only shake his head and say:

“I thought I knew what leadership looked like. What these guys are doing… this is on another level.”

More Than a Facility

In addition to elite training services, “NextPlay” will also host youth programs, scholarship initiatives, and crossover camps combining hockey and basketball fundamentals — targeting underserved communities in Alberta and beyond.

Insiders say the announcement was months in the making, and that the Oilers organization gave McDavid full support in spearheading the project, recognizing its potential to revolutionize off-ice development.

Fans are already reacting wildly on social media, with many praising the bold move and calling it “the future of sports synergy.” Others are simply amazed that two of the most dominant athletes of their generation are uniting off the field.

Is this the start of a new sports era?
All signs point to yes.
