Twin rarities greeted Connor Bedard on Tuesday in the forms of a tweet and a media gathering.
The first, from Lululemon, announced Bedard as an ambassador for the clothing brand before he has so much as stepped foot on NHL ice or officially knows the team for whom he will play.
The second involved Bedard sitting at a podium at the AllianceBernstein Tower in Nashville, Tenn., taking questions from reporters — a benign gathering noteworthy only for its scale. Of a season in which he scored 71 goals and assisted 72 on more with the Western Hockey League’s Regina Pats while leading Canada to World Junior Championship gold with a staggering 23 points in seven games, he said: “I had a lot of fun, first and foremost, that’s what matters most.”Of the goals he’s set for himself, he said: “First of all, make the team of course. That’s the No. 1 goal.”
