Leon Draisaitl and Celeste Desjardins: A summer to remember
Some of the pictures captured some tender moments of Draisaitl and his then soon-to-be wife, Celeste Desjardins, who were married in early August in France. Their wedding was a joyous occasion for friends, teammates, and family alike, and it was the perfect way to kick off the newlyweds' life together. Draisaitl posted a selfie with Celeste, along with a family picture, as if to keep the joyful and relaxing summer alive. Desjardins reacted to her husband’s post, writing, “❤❤ the best summer,” effectively adding a warm, personal touch that resonated with all of the fans. These glimpses into family time highlight that Draisaitl prioritizes his off-ice interests alongside his incredibly demanding professional life.
Team bonding and offseason activities: Draisaitl's summer highlights
Draisaitl's Instagram further gave fans a peek at his summer activities beyond family time. He was seen sipping drinks with friends, lounging by a pool, and even tennis appeared to figure into his offseason schedule. Joining Draisaitl were his Edmonton Oilers teammates, like Darnell Nurse and captain Connor McDavid, in a handful of pictures, giving a little window into team camaraderie. One of the most gossip-worthy shots was the one with Draisaitl on a yacht alongside Nurse, McDavid, and other associates, while another goofy shot saw him sporting a wig. The Oilers returned with a short three-word caption-"Summer of Leon ����," an interesting reflection of the excitement around the forward's summer escapades and their anticipation for the upcoming season.
