After McDonald’s illustrious career led him through stints with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Colorado Rockies, and ultimately to the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League, the family settled in Calgary following his trade to the Flames.
However, they also cherish moments spent at their summer home in Montana, where they have invested in various ventures, including restaurants and a craft brewery in the community of Lakeside.
Their daughter Andra, in particular, has taken a significant role in the family’s entrepreneurial pursuits. Co-owning the brewery in Lakeside, Andra draws inspiration from her father’s legacy, even producing a special brew named “Old ‘Stache Porter” in his honor.

Despite the demands of their respective careers and endeavors, the McDonald family remains closely knit, finding joy and solace in each other’s company.
Lanny and Ardell are not only devoted parents but also doting grandparents, relishing the joys of grandparenthood with their seven beloved grandchildren.
While Lanny may not always have the opportunity to spend quality time with his children due to their busy schedules, he cherishes every moment spent with his grandchildren.
His social media accounts, under the handle @lannymac9009, are adorned with heartwarming snapshots capturing these precious family moments.
Among his seven grandchildren, Lanny proudly boasts six grandsons and one granddaughter, each adding their own unique charm and joy to the McDonald family dynamic.
The youngest addition to the clan, Reece, brought additional delight when he entered the world in January 2017, further enriching the McDonald family’s legacy of love and togetherness.
