Connor Bedard's highlight reel has been hard to miss. Already the presumptive first overall selection at the 2023 NHL draft, the 17-year-old phenom with a bullet shot and an ability to make the puck look like it's on a string has taken his game to new heights this season.
Canada's Connor Bedard will highlight a group of 10 players hoping to win their second junior hockey championship title in six months. Pictured is Bedard lining up for the face-off against Latvia during second period IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship action in Edmonton on Aug. 10, 2022.
Bedard was held off the scoresheet in Regina's opener, but has scored 27 times and added 37 assists since as part of an outrageous 27-game point streak. Shane Wright, the No. 4 pick by the Seattle Kraken at the 2022 draft, said Bedard has teammates in awe. One of 10 returning players from Canada's gold-medal winning roster that won the reimagined August world juniors pushed back eight months following a series of COVID-19 outbreaks that shelved last year's event, Bedard is a lock after working hard to earn a spot 12 months ago."Always want to come in with that tryout mentality," said Bedard, the first player granted exceptional status to play in the WHL a year early at age 15.
