Connor Bedard stands out distinctly among his peers. His abilities differentiate him from most 18-year-olds we've witnessed in many years.

His maturity on the ice is evident, yet he's exceptionally critical of himself.

Bedard's celebration of his first goal, an empty-netter, caught the attention of many. Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson eventually spoke on the young star's demeanor.

Blackhawks' Coach Opens Up About Bedard's Attitude

"[Bedard is] hard on himself, so we're going to have to lighten him up and make sure he enjoys these times. Because wins in the NHL are hard to come by - and once it starts for real, they're really hard to come by. We have to make sure we enjoy the night and have a little fun when you win a game.

A couple of those hiccups, [like] when we missed an open net or fell down on a 2-on-0, we have to make some humor out of that and make it fun to come to the rink the next day, not tense and grinding the stick. There's enough of that."


While Bedard's talent is undeniable, his ability to fully embrace the sport might be the key. Perhaps he needs more maturity to acknowledge and laugh off his own mistakes ,especially in the pre-season.
