Connor Bedard got his latest welcome-to-the-NHL moment Tuesday, skating around on the ice in the Blackhawks' home red jersey and his new team's full gear for the first time at the Players' Association's rookie showcase.
Sep 05, 2023 at 05:24 PM ETARLINGTON, Va. — When the Chicago Blackhawks selected Connor Bedard with the first pick in the draft earlier this summer, the player considered hockey's next superstar slipped on his new team's jersey over a dress shirt and tie.
“Just to be with this organization and city and everything, it’s a dream come true,” Bedard said. “Growing up watching them and seeing kind of their runs was pretty cool, so to put the jersey on is really special.” Bedard for two days in the Washington area was the subject of plenty of attention from autograph seekers staking out an event run by the NHLPA and Upper Deck for rookie orientation and trading card photos. He has been seen as a future star since at least age 14, so he said simply: “I’ve had crazier.”
"That’s the extra stuff that comes with being a player of his caliber," Korchinski said. “The spotlight on him is really big, so for him to be able to block it out is pretty special and a testament to his character.”
