In 38 matches in the best ice hockey league in the world, Connor Bedard has already made everyone agree. Selected in first place in the 2023 NHL draft by the Chicago Blackhawks, the young Canadian center has already scored 15 goals and collected 18 assists for a total of 33 matches.
More than his statistics, it is his ability to achieve memorable actions, like his “Michigan” against the Buffalo Sabers on December 24 or this golden goal in overtime against the Winnipeg Jets on the 28th (see below). below), which have already made Bedard one of the headliners of the “Bettman circuit”.
It is therefore not really a surprise if, on Thursday evening, the player from North Vancouver, aged 18 years and 171 days, was named as the Blackhawks representative for the next All-Star Game which will take place in Toronto.
However, this selection is historic because at 18 years and 201 days old on February 3, Connor Bedard will become the youngest player in NHL history to play in an “All-Star Game”. The previous record dates back to 2011 when Jeff Skinner, then with the Carolina Hurricanes, took part in the All-Star Game at the age of 18 years and 259 days.
