Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid went viral in May after a very awkward photo was snapped of him with two fans in an airport. There was some awkward hand grabbing and a heartfelt arm wrap from the smiling fans, who meant to no harm.

On Tuesday, McDavid explained how the photo came to be in a podcast with Puck Soup.

McDavid will be on the cover of the upcoming NHL video game by EA Sports. We all wish that the airport photo would the one that graces the front of the video game.
