Top NHL prospect Connor Bedard playing in Kamloops, Kelowna this month

Connor Bedard – a teenage hockey player who’s cut out to become an NHL superstar – will be taking on the Kelowna Rockets and Kamloops Blazers later in November.

The 17-year-old has 157 points in 92 WHL games with the Regina Pats. He is considered a 'generational talent' and is expected to be a superstar when he plays for the National Hockey League. This is your chance to see him before then.

Earlier this year at the 2022 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, Bedard was the youngest player – by well over a year – to be part of Canada's gold-winning team.
