NHL Reporters Call Out Jeremy Roenick Following Controversial Comments on Connor Bedard
Jeremy Roenick faces backlash from NHL team reporters following the call out of Connor Bedard
Just a week ago, a few days after the 2025 Winter Classic Between The St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks , Jeremy Roenick voiced his displeasure and furious feeling for 19-year old Connor Bedard.
Roenick was in attendance at the Winter Classic, and stated that Bedard made a disrespectful gesture to him, as we stated in this report below.
Blackhawks Legend Jeremy Roenick Accuses Connor Bedard of Disrespecting Team Legend
«There needs to be respect in the game and there needs to be respect for the history of the game,» Roenick said. «But there's one player that didn't come up to me, Chelly, or Savvy, and that was the superstar of the Chicago Blackhawks. That's Connor Bedard.»
Roenick's comments came with backlash, and surprisingly it was from Blackhawks team reporters- who have been face to face with JR before.
"In what can only be seen as a desperate plea for attention for his podcast co-hosted by disgraced referee Tim Peel (Roenick made the remarks)," Powers and Lazerues wrote. " ... Roenick was a great player and a fan-favorite in Chicago during his stint with the Blackhawks. He's not doing himself or his reputation any favors with nonsense like this. But hey, get those clicks, man."
