In a surprising move, the Chicago Blackhawks have decided to send young talent Connor Bedard overseas for the upcoming men's World Championship pre-tournament game against Austria this Sunday, and the remainder of the tournament.
Despite facing multiple injuries this season, including a broken jaw that he's still recovering from, Bedard's participation in the tournament has been confirmed.
Blackhawks fans are both hopeful and cautious about Bedard's involvement, considering his young age and recent injury. While rookies typically spend the off-season hitting the gym, Bedard remains focused on hockey, eager to represent Team Canada on the international stage.
Stay tuned for further updates on Bedard's journey overseas with Team Canada.
