Hello, today for my blog I am going to write about Connor Bedard. He is a great player and has a great name for hockey.

This is really weird, but currently a lot of the best players or really good players have the first name Connor. Connor McDavid, Connor Hellebucyk, Connor Garland and Connor Bedard. Garland, of course, is not an extremely good player, but he is one of the best players on the Coyotes. Connor Bedard, however, is in McDavid range. He has the highest points percentage of any player who got exceptional player status, and if you include the hockey greats, the only player he has a lesser points percentage than Gretzky, but Gretzky’s first game was when he was a 16 year old. Bedard has 18 goals, and 10 assists for 28 points, in 15 games. Almost 2 points for game as a first year fifteen year old!!! I think he could be better than Connor McDavid depending on which team he gets on in the NHL. McDavid might have less points if Draisaitl wasnt there, but then again, every team has one offensive superstar and a secondary player, so Bedard would most likely have someone good to play with.

Connor Bedard was born on July 15th 2005, in North Vancouver, BC. He is a center that stands at 5’9″ and 181 lbs. He played with the West Vancouver academy bantam prep team that is part of the CSSHL, the highest league before the CHL. He was the first player ever granted exceptional player status in the WHL. At the WJC U-18 tournament, he had 12 points in 6 games. He currently plays for the Regina St. Pats in the dub. He is the top prospect for the 2023 NHL draft.

Connor Bedard’s agent is Greg Landry. He has been famous since only 13 when he was still playing in the CSSHL. I think he is going to be the same or better than Connor McDavid. Bedard’s specialty is everything. He can dish the puck, but he is an exceptional scorer with good skating. I think he is going to be like Auston Matthews except that he will be a good skater too. I am predicting he will win 4 Stanley Cups, 13 Art Ross Trophies, the Calder, and 7 Rocket Richard trophies. This might be a bit extreme, but he is such a good player that it is definitely possible. Who knows, he might get an 70 goal season in his prime.  His only problem will be physicality at being such a small player, but small players can get in there and he is so good, he might be able to stickhandle and skate around everybody and need no physicality. There seems to be a pattern. Gretzky wore 99, and McDavid wears 97. Gretzky is better than McDavid, so maybe, because Bedard wears 98, Bedard will be better than McDavid and almost as good as Gretzky.

 

This is a website about Bedard at the U18 worlds,  and here is his elite prospects page.
