Part 1:

C Connor Bedard - Regina Pats, WHL (2023 Draft)

I figure if his Ontario peer Adam Fantilli has his own thread then Connor definitely deserves one. He is a 13 year old leading the CSSBHL in scoring with an impressive stat line of 31 goals and 12 assists for 43 points in 13 games. He is playing mostly with kids a year older than him and not...

Quite a few I’d say around 20.
Patrik Laine has the record with 15!! Threads

How many prospects have reached 5 separate threads?

Mods also used to strictly close threads right when they would hit 1000 posts. The past couple years they haven't bothered so much with that from my observations. Bedard's last thread reached 1400 posts so he would probably be on something close to 10 threads by now.

Very cool.
I feel like the editing is kinda… amateurish on this, is that just me.

Cool watch tho.

Cool! Well that might explain how his shot is so good. Good tip for future kids.

"I don't want to talk about my performance. I don't want to talk about me." -Connor Bedard, cutting off the interviewer's question who wants to talk about his personal records.

I freakin love this guy!

“I love my boys, my team. I love my country! I love this place, this city!”

Connor Bedard is a f***ing BEAUTY and without a doubt a future captain (not to mention an all star)!

Congrats on gold now bring us a cup

 

[Mathieukferland]

Even if he had an off night, I think the records and back to back golds make him go down as the greatest international Canadian Youth/Junior Player (in addition to a u18 gold, rare for Canada) of all time…. And that goal against Slovakia will be remembered forever now that Canada has won gold

The single best player performance I've seen at the World Juniors since I started watching it way way back in '86.

I hope he is not gassed and has some juice in the tank to play one more tournament in May with the NHLers as he preps for his big Draft Day!

I am really curious if he experiences the World Cup boost and goes on a tear in the WHL. After playing with such skill, hopefully the game will slow down even more for him. Second half of his season could be a real ripper.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

I want to see him in the WC. See how he fares, would make for some exciting games.

That one handed diving saucer pass to Stankoven was so incredible. Can't find a clip of it though.

2026 Olympics are going to be insane with McDavid-Bedard-Makar.

He already has 2.28 PPG and is still leading the WHL in points while missing time at the tournament.

It was insane lol...

Honestly, not to take anything away from Bedard because he's ridiculous, but I think he got a bit lucky on that pass. There is no way he planned for it to be a perfect sauce, but it ended up that way. He obviously meant for the pass to happen, and the dive showed an insane amount of hockey IQ, but for it to be a perfect sauce...well I find it hard to believe he meant to do it.

But I mean, he is Connor Bedard, so maybe he did...?

He's done those kinds of stick picks before.

I think it genuinely is something he has practiced and worked on.

Interesting they kind of go into it here. He broke his wrist a few years back and spent the entire time with the broken wrist stickhandling and shooting with only one hand. His father and him credit it with making his shot better and you can see him absolutely rip some one handed shots lol

This happened to Patrick Kane when he was younger (before he was drafted) and he could only comfortably shoot backhanders for a while, so he got really good at it.

Looks like an intentional sauce to me with how his stick blade is facing.
