Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid has flown to Texas to adopt a 3-year-old boy whose parents tragically lost their lives in the recent catastrophic floods that swept through the region.

According to sources close to the hockey superstar, McDavid first learned about the child’s heartbreaking story when he saw the boy’s photo circulating on social media alongside a plea for help.

The child, identified only as “Liam” for privacy, was found clinging to debris after his parents were swept away by the sudden flash floods that ravaged parts of central Texas last week.

Witnesses say that as soon as McDavid saw the post, he immediately contacted his team and arranged for a private jet to take him to Texas without hesitation. Within hours, he was on the ground, meeting with local authorities and the child’s remaining relatives.

What happened next left fans and even his teammates in absolute awe — McDavid reportedly pledged not only to adopt the boy but also to cover all his future expenses, including education, housing, and medical care.

In an emotional statement to local reporters, McDavid said, “No child should ever have to go through something like this alone. If I can give him a loving home and a chance to heal, then that’s what I’m going to do.”

Photos of McDavid holding the small boy in his arms have spread like wildfire online, with thousands of fans praising the NHL star for his compassion and humanity off the ice. Teammates and celebrities alike have shared messages of support, calling McDavid’s actions a true example of leadership and heart.

The Oilers organization released a brief statement saying they fully support their captain’s decision and stand behind him as he navigates this new chapter.

As the hockey world rallies behind McDavid and his new son, many are calling this one of the most inspiring acts ever witnessed in sports.
