    Created: Wednesday, June 05, 2024

    The Town of Newmarket invites the community to cheer on hometown hockey hero Connor McDavid in his quest with the Edmonton Oilers for his first Stanley Cup!

Newmarket – let’s show Connor we are behind him and wear or display Orange and Blue anywhere you can. Go Connor Go!”
     
    Mayor Taylor has declared the Riverwalk Commons to be temporarily named Connor McDavid Square for the duration of the playoffs.
