Connor Bedard joins his idol, in the same stable of athletes sponsored by Gatorade Canada:
Gatorade Canada has signed Blackhawks C Connor Bedard to its stable of endorsers, joining Penguins C Sidney Crosby, Maple Leafs Assistant GM Hayley Wickenheiser, PWHL Montreal F Marie-Philip Poulin, Canadian sprinter Andre DeGrasse, tennis player Leylah Fernandez, Paralympic swimmer Aurélie Rivard and WNBA L.A. Sparks G Kia Nurse. Bedard also has deals with Upper Deck, lululemon and Hyundai Canada, and also was the leader in NHL jersey sales. Bedard is repped by Newport Sports Management.
This is in opposition to making a push into the NHL market, following Coca-Cola's "Body Armor" drink which sponsored Connor McDavid earlier in the year.
