Breaking news: Connor McDavid’s father, Brian McDavid, denied that his son is racist, saying that he is friends with their “black servant” in South Africa. Full story 👇

In a move that’s baffled sports analysts and delighted internet satirists, NHL superstar Connor McDavid and his father Brian McDavid are rumored to be launching the No Blades League — a father-son hockey league designed for players who “really love hockey but also really fear falling.”

Sources (none) claim that the idea came during a family backyard BBQ when Brian slipped on a puck and said, “You know what would be great? Hockey without ice.”

Early promotional materials show Connor and Brian sporting rollerblades and oversized foam sticks, grinning beneath a banner that reads: “No Ice, No Rules, All McDavids.”

The new league’s slogan? “Why skate when you can slide awkwardly?”

While NHL officials have not responded, a fan on Reddit summarized public sentiment well:
“Is this real? If so, I’m in. If not, I still want a jersey.”
