The anticipation surrounding Connor Bedard's debut with the Chicago Blackhawks has been steadily building since the moment it was announced at the draft that he would be the team's number-one choice in the 2023 entry draft.
Blackhawks fans, both in the city and across the country, were elated, exchanging high fives and pumping fists with joy at the prospect of landing one of the best players of the next generation.
Remarkably, even before Bedard played a single minute for the team, he has already set a new record with the Blackhawks. As reported by bleachernation.com, Bedard is set to don jersey number 98, the highest number ever worn by a player in the history of the Blackhawks and likely to be the last.
The sheer excitement of witnessing number 98 in a Blackhawks jersey and contemplating the impact he will have on the organization and the NHL as a whole is immeasurable. Bedard's exceptional skill set, hockey IQ, and numerous other attributes, especially his professionalism at such a young age, speak volumes about the contributions he will bring to the team.
One can expect a surge in attendance at practices and sold-out crowds across the NHL as fans flock to witness this young phenom's emergence into the star he is destined to become.
