His commitment to engaging with fans goes beyond the rink. Bedard recently took a break from his rigorous training to express gratitude to Blackhawks fans, ensuring those calling out his name during practice received pucks from him.
This isn't a one-time occurrence. Before a game against the Florida Panthers, Bedard spotted a young fan with a sign reading, 'Bedard, I want to be just like you!' Promptly, he found a puck and shared a moment with the lucky fan.
Bedard's consistent efforts to connect with fans, especially the younger demographic, contribute to building a new NHL fanbase. While the league's leadership faces criticism, Bedard's charm and genuine interactions serve as a positive force, attracting newer and younger fans to the sport.
