ET Canada caught up with McDavid on the red carpet ahead of the big induction, and asked him how he feels about getting to bestow the honour upon the band.
“Really, really excited. Super honoured to be here. Proud to be here to represent the Oilers and the city of Edmonton. Proud to be part of Nickelback’s special night,” he said.
Asked if he had to get himself ready for the presentation, McDavid said, “There’s definitely a bit of prep that goes into it. We did rehearsals and stuff like that. This is all new to me, I’ve never done anything like this before, so a little bit nervous, but like I said, just happy to be here.”

The NHL player was also asked for his favourite Nickelback song to hum to himself or sing at karaoke.
“Ooh, there’s so many. When you go to a Nickelback show, you’re just reminded of how many amazing songs they have. ‘Rockstar’ obviously is one, ‘Photograph’ is another good favourite,” he said, adding, “My dad’s favourite Nickelback song would probably be ‘If Today Was Your Last Day’, so I might go with that.”
During the ceremony, presenting band with the honour, McDavid joked, “Nickelback has brought my family and friends a lot of great memories over the years, and kept a lot of neighbours up in the process.”

Karen Bliss Nickelback’s induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at Monday’s Juno Awards called for a local hero — and who better to introduce the honorees than Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid. “The LeBron of hockey,” as Junos host Simu Liu called the athlete, is currently regarded as the NHL’s best player. In Edmonton, not far from the tiny town of Hanna, Alberta (where a sign welcoming visitors reads, “Proud to be the home of Nickelback”), the rock band is equally respected. To wit: an introduction by Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds in an 11-minute video chronicling their start as a cover band to global rock act with sales of over 50 million albums. “They played a show here a number of years ago and I met them backstage and ended up having a really good time together,” McDavid — who is from Toronto and joined the Oilers in 2015 — tells Variety. “I think there’s always a mutual respect for athletes to musicians and musicians to athletes, and we definitely bonded over that.”
