As a young hockey player, the game and players you admire can greatly influence your outlook on who you want to play for and how you skate.
Recently, Connor Bedard expressed high praise for three-time Stanley Cup winner Patrick Kane, stating that he learned a lot from him.
Bedard and Kane had the opportunity to work together at the BioSteel Camp, which took place before the 2022-2023 season.
"It was good," Bedard said. "Obviously one of the best players ever. For me to get the opportunity to be with a guy like him and obviously, like you said, ask some questions and be a sponge around him and all the other guys there, I think that's great for me to be able to learn from guys like him."
After the camp ended in Toronto, Bedard couldn't help but sing Kane's praises and compliment the veteran star.
Bedard and Kane share similar skillsets and a strong determination, which leads many to believe that
Bedard may have the chance to follow in Kane's footsteps if the Blackhawks draft him as the first overall pick.
