Step into the streets, arenas, coffee shops, and offices of Edmonton, and witness how the arrival of a teenage hockey phenomenon is changing the citys fortunes.Once known as the City of Champions, Edmonton is at a crossroads. As oil prices continue to plummet, the economic outlook grows bleaker by the day. Political changes have ushered in an era of uncertainty. And, as though mirroring the citys fortunes, the Edmonton Oilers continue to struggle on the ice, offering little solace or escape to the citys longsuffering hockey fans.But on June 26, 2015, hope was reborn in Edmonton. With the first overall pick in the NHL Entry Draft, the Edmonton Oilers selected Connor McDavid, a onceinageneration talent who, at only eighteen years old, was already being compared to the Great One who had preceded him twentyfive years earlier. Sparked by the arrival of McDavid, the construction of a new stateoftheart hockey arena, and the development of a revitalized downtown core, a new sensibility began to emerge in Edmonton. Sensing an opportunity, the city started to rebuild and rebrand itself in search of a new future.Through exclusive access, uplifting anecdotes, and colourful interviews, The McDavid Effect traces the renewal of not just a hockey team, but of an entire city. Reflecting the multitude of viewpoints that make up Edmontonfrom Connor himself to construction crews at work on the downtown development to business executives directing the new shape of the Albertan capitalThe McDavid Effect paints a portrait of the city as it is being reimagined, captures the nearreligious reverence people have for sports, and shows how the people of Edmonton are coming to hope again.
