He goes on to state that because he lives, works, and plays in Edmonton, it’s essential. He even mentioned how Edmonton was once the coldest place on the planet.
Oh, we remember.
His other essential is a pair of Ray-Ban glasses. McDavid told GQ that these are essential for anyone in Edmonton because of the snow and the amount of sun the city gets.
