(for those who aren't, Connor McDavid is arguably the best hockey player alive today)

Most probably is rally driver Colin McRae[0], after whom a popular series of rally games are named[1].

It is probably a play on Collin McRae. But McRae died under tragic circumstances and to me it felt slightly odd to allude to his name in this manner.

He also had a brilliant career as a driver, and people remember him very fondly. It's about the way he lived, not the way he died.
