Watch out, Sweden!
Conor Bedard, 17, is hot.
Canada’s super talent hit another record last night.
Canada copied the Minor Crowns’ opening win, outscoring Austria 11-0.
And 17-year-old Conor Bedard continues to produce points. Last night there were six points (!) and he scored an exceptional 14 in the opening three games, which is twice as many as second in the league in scoring.
But she’s still a humble Canadian prodigy.
We have a lot of talented players in the team. I’m just one of them and I’m trying to contribute, he says according to CBS.
Tanged Eberle Record
Last night, targets No. 13 and 14 also came from Bedard in the context of the JVM. This means that he has now tied the Canadian goal-scoring record of NHL star Jordan Eberle.
Bedard’s teammates were a little bigger in their words about him than he was himself.
His scoring ability is among the best I’ve seen, says worthy NHL captain Shane Wright.
– I really enjoy being on the bench when I see him play, says Nathan Gucher with a laugh.
Next opposition: Sweden
Bédard’s stunning start in the 2023 JVM has him now touching two Canada records.
But in the next match, he faces the best defense of this tournament so far. It’s time for the match against the junior crowns.
On Sunday night, Canada plays Sweden, starting at 00:30.
