‘I don’t know if he genuinely believed that until the moment they said his name,’ says the North Vancouver hockey mom

After one of their most hectic weeks to date, the Bedard family is looking forward to some quiet time together in Chicago, the new home of the first overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft.

“For Connor, I don’t know if he genuinely believed that until the moment they said his name,” she said. “That has been the biggest goal of his for as long as I can remember, not going first but to be drafted in the NHL.” Bedard family looking forward to time together after chaotic draft week Amid the chaos of draft week, the rest of the Bedards barely got to see Connor. But Melanie, father Tom and sister Madisen are flying back to the Windy City this week.

Connor is currently in the calm after the storm, as his development camp with the Blackhawks starts off the ice, with an emphasis on conditioning and bonding with fellow picks and prospects. The ultimate hockey mom? As she’s been by her son’s side through his journey to the professional league, many might consider Melanie Bedard to be the ultimate hockey mom. But she doesn’t see it that way.
