Top prospect Connor Bedard has been named the inaugural winner of the IIHF Player of the Year award after his exceptional performance at the 2023 World Junior Hockey Championship.
Bedard led the tournament with 23 points, setting a Canadian record.
"This is such a huge honour." Bedard said. "I'm not sure how to compare it to others I've received, but it's pretty incredible to receive this award with all the unbelievable players that have competed in the IIHF this season and the amazing players that were nominated for this award."
He also earned the tournament MVP title and helped Canada win the gold medal. With the NHL Entry Draft approaching, Bedard is expected to be the first overall pick by the Chicago Blackhawks.
