If you don’t know who Connor Bedard is, allow us to introduce him to you. He’s 15, was given exceptional status, and is currently DESTROYING the WHL.
A native of North Shore, British Colombia, Bedard was selected by the Regina Pats with the first overall pick in the 2020 WHL draft and has already exceeded expectations. Averaging nearly two points per game with nine goals and 10 assists in just 10 games. We can talk about the rookie for days but it’s best for you to just take a look for yourself and dissect his brilliance with your own eyes.
Let’s kick things off with his first WHL goal. He actually scored two in this one, but the first is a goal he’ll remember for the rest of his life. Pure genius here:
And how about this beauty from the other night? You can’t help but wonder if this kid is already NHL ready at 15… he certainly doesn’t look far off.
Oh- and he can dish it, too. This kid is going to be an absolute freaking star.
Okay, so you’ve seen what he can do as a 15-year-old. But what about younger? Here are his highlights from before he hit the Dub, just ridiculous.
Folks, keep your eyes LOCKED onto this kid. Good chance he’s the number one pick in the 2023 draft. You can also catch him on Team Canada’s U18 roster in Texas on April 26.
He’s 15.
