Hockey fans flock to arenas to catch a glimpse of Connor Bedard
The 17-year-old Regina Pats forward keeps packing arenas in Western Canada after his electrifying performance in last month’s world junior men’s hockey championship.
“I’m pretty sure that would be the most,” Bedard said in a pre-game meeting with media at a downtown Calgary hotel. There was an uptick in November’s WHL gates when Bedard and the Pats were in town, but he’s an even hotter ticket now.The Lethbridge Hurricanes say no more tickets are available for Friday’s game in the team’s 5,900-seat building.“On the road, they don’t like you as much, which is fun,” Bedard said. “When you’re home they’re cheering for you, so either way you’re kind of getting fired up for it.”
Bedard of North Vancouver, B.C., hasn’t let up since the world junior tournament with 16 goals and eight assists in seven WHL games.
