The NHL has been working on building up the personalities of the league’s superstars the same way other major leagues across North America have done so in past years and they appear to be finding their stride as of late.

Ahead of the Dallas Stars’ game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night, Stars centreman Tyler Seguin was asked his opinion on the league promoting its personalities and if they have some ways to go still to catch up to other leagues. Since the 26-year-old has always said what’s on his mind, his answer to the question followed that trend.

Personality push: Seguin jokes that McDavid marrying celebrity would boost NHL

The Stars superstar joked that if Connor McDavid would follow in Wayne Gretzky’s footsteps and marry a celebrity then it would help the league take a massive leap forward.

Seguin is one of the superstars who has made a name for himself outside of hockey over the past few years and mentioned in the interview that he’s happy to see the steps the league has taken, especially with the emergence of P.K. Subban and Auston Matthews as of late.

The NHL still has ways to go to catch up to leagues like the NBA and the NFL, but they’ve made some massive strides based on where they used to be.
