Connor McDavid Reunited With E...

A guy who captained the Edmonton Oilers to the franchise's first Stanley Cup Final appearance in 18 years. A guy who wants to do that again this year.

It's a long road to get there, but that road starts in the gym. The Oilers played Game seven of the Stanley Cup Final on June 24th. Now, 25 days later McDavid is back in the gym getting ready for next season.

But he's not alone.

His superstar best friend Leon Draisaitl shared a gym session with him. Several photos and videos were uploaded to both of their Instagram stories. The above video is what McDavid shared in an Instagram post. He posted it with a simple, "back at it" caption.

It makes sense for McDavid to be back in the gym this early. He is one week away from his wedding and will take some time away from the gym to celebrate.

McDavid has been playing hockey his whole life. He understands the commitment that it takes to be the best possible player he can be. It's important to be healthy physically and mentally.

Of course, Draisaitl was on a trip where he proposed to his (now) fiancee. It's good for both players to get back into a routine and a rhythm.

Given how close the entire team is, I wouldn't be surprised if fans start to see videos of other players back in the gym.
