We’re grateful to the doctors, nurses, and staff who acted quickly and have been absolutely amazing. Connor is now stable and surrounded by family. We’re hopeful and taking things one day at a time.”

Kelly went on to thank the hockey community and Oilers fans for their overwhelming outpouring of love and prayers:

> “The messages, the candles, the signs outside the arena — they’ve all meant more than words can express. Connor feels your support and your strength.”

While specific details about McDavid’s condition haven’t been released out of respect for his privacy, sources close to the family confirmed that he’s “in recovery and responding well to treatment.”

Teammates and fellow NHL stars have also posted messages of encouragement, calling McDavid “the heart of the game” and expressing hope for his full recovery.
