So why Bedard, who hasn’t played a single NHL game yet? Well, I mean, Bedard did win the CHL Top Prospect, Top Scorer, and David Branch Player of the Year awards—the first time anyone has captured all three awards in a season. He also scooped up the E.J. McGuire Award of Excellence at this year’s NHL awards ceremony and led the Canadian Junior team to a gold medal at the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championships, setting points and goals record for Team Canada along the way.
“We took our hockey involvement to the next level with the NHL and NHLPA partnership last year,” Christine Smith, director of marketing at Hyundai Auto Canada, says. “Bringing one of the game’s most elite young stars on board is both an honour and a natural next step… we warmly welcome Connor to the Hyundai family, who is already an inspiration to so many, and will inspire the next generation of hockey fans.
