Back on May 8th, the Chicago Blackhawks won the draft lottery, getting the privilege to draft Connor Bedard. We all knew it was going to happen, so the Hawks just had to go on the clock and select him.
And Kyle Davidson did just that. Connor Bedard is officially a Chicago Blackhawk.
View some of his highlights here:
Connor Bedard is a generational talent and is only 17 years old. Bedard had 271 points in 134 with the Regina Pats of the WHL whilst being Captain. Connor also played on Canada's World Junior team, where he had 23 points in seven games and won gold for his country. He was also named the IIHF Player of the Year.
All Hawks fans hope he succeeds and can't wait to see him play his first Pre-season game as an official Blackhawk.
