Can’t believe people are talking bad about this kid. He is a great player and yes, he could pass the puck a little more but he will get better at his team play overtime and he had 41 apples in 36 games as a 14 year old vs 18 year olds and I think he will be a good player in the NHL
I've played competitive hockey before(AAA). My parents didnt have to buy my coach a car to get on the team lol. But this kid is making it look way to easy. This is what I look like when I play pick up hockey. I really hope he gets more challenge. Otherwise he is just that good. Keep it up kid
@@RoyceTheRiPPer i get what he was saying it’s as in he’s a real triple a player . Like there’s some kids who’s parents have connections . So he was a decent AAA player and when he goes to pick up games it’s like he’s playing 10 yr olds . And that benard would make him look like a pickup player
He recently broke records at the WJC and is most likely going #1 overall😬 sorry you didn’t get your shot in the show, but why would you shit on a 14 year old who’s just doing what he loves? have a good day man!
John Bristowe he doesn’t need to pass the puck I played at the whistler elite showcase tournament in June and in stat sheet it said he had 1 turnover all tournament along with 15 goals and 10 apples
Yeah, I will go ahead and call this a very very bad take @john bristowe lol, he just put up 51 goals as a 16 years old in 62 games in the whl …keep on shooting kid, keep on shooting
To all the people who commented about playing against bad players. He just became the first ever player to be granted exceptional player status in the WHL
Look. He’s definitely a talented guy. No denying that. But he’s playing against some really unimpressive guys here Edit: all the people sounding off in the comments need to re-read my comment. He’s an unbelievable offensive talent. I know that. I’m just saying, these kids he’s playing are not very good. And it has nothing to do with “oh they just look bad cause he’s that much better.” With or without having Bedard there to compare these kids to, they’re not good. These kids being in bad position to defend and being bad skaters has nothing to do with Bedard. If these kids are 3 or 4 years older than him like everyone says, then these are the worst 17-18 year old players alive. So to be clear so everyone understands: Bedard is phenomenal. He’s going to be an NHL star. The kids he’s playing IN THIS VIDEO are not very good hockey players. That’s all
Most times at this age there are standouts that dominate the more casual players - give it a couple years and the playing field will get a lot more competitive. Bud is good though.
I know his passing may be an issue. But from this video, a lot of the options weren’t properly setup. I’d say he’s experienced enough to see some people just shouldn’t touch the puck. Also spring tourneys are usually about individual progress. He’s not a playmaker. Let him do his thing
Just remember this is a highlight video of some goals he had.... I'm sure he as no problem passing. Clearly the kid can skate and has great hands. Try not to tear into him just because you dont think the other players are very good.
It's hard for me too understand why people are talking crap about a 14 year old kid that has amazing skills. He has the potential to be an all time great and should be getting praised for the hard work he has obviously put in. It saddens me that there are so many people who were too lazy to live up to their potential, try to make themselves look better by knocking down all the people around them. The fact is, we're watching this kid do things that the people writing the criticism can, and never will be able to do. This kid is a phenom, and he has all my respect for his work ethic. He's a coaches dream. Haters need to pick on someone their own age, and stop harassing kids. Cheers mate.
really skilled, no worry he will be picked number 1 by a WHL team next spring. Only negative thing I noticed about him was that he didnt use his teamates or pass very often for an example view the play at 1:52 . He had multiple clear passing options to the number 2 defencemen who had a clear shooting lane while Bedard had 2 opponents pressing and checking him but he did not pass and was lucky to get through to the slot because the competition was so poor, it wont be that easy in the WHL he needs to start using his teamates more
@@EmpireWorldwideTrade that is true but im just saying would he continue to take it for himself when he reaches the WHL where you have to utilize your teamates to succede. It could be a little red flag about him but besides that hes an excellant player
To everyone criticizing Bedard , this kid just got granted exceptional status to play in the dub . Just goes to show how much all you keyboard warriors really know about hockey .
Hockey has become a joke sadly. You are correct my friend. Yes of course defensemen could line him up and crush him. Just not the nature of a once great sport.
He’s 14 and if you were able to totally dominate the play like he clearly can, then why wouldn’t you ? I guarantee if he was out there playing defensive and only passing/ playing on the net side of the puck, you would go to the comments and say he’s good but needs to take more chances and take control.
He’s like Crosby when it comes to his hockey IQ and positioning mixed with Patrick Kane with a shot like Matthews. He just needs to you know, FINISH GROWING 😂 people that complain about his +/- and defensive play seem to forget he’s a 5’9 175 pound 18 year old center playing against 6’4 220 pound veterans. He’s also on the worst team in the league talent wise. The only veterans on the Hawks worth keeping are Kurachev, Dickinson, Foligno and Mrazek. There’s a couple other guys but not many. They have some of the best defensive prospects in the league and Vlasic already looks elite. Del Mastro is an AHL all star too and Kaiser is pretty dang good too.
That guy doesn’t even pass to his teammates, he plays alone! He could pass 2 minutes in the others team zone without even thinking passing the puck once
To the people saying he’s playing against awful kids he is in fucking bantams so it’s not supposed to be junior A skill level he is just very very very good
He is very impressive. He is a very good skater, has silky smooth hands and great reflexes. He passes very well. Kind of plays like a younger Connor Mcdavid. No need to hate. I think I can see this kid ripping up the NHL one day.
His ability to pass has gotten much better. Yea he's a puck hog here, but if you watch from the 2022 cancelled world jrs to the most recent world jr in Halifax you'll notice a huge difference. He has gotten much better at finding the pass rather than just being a shoot first kid.
I totally agree with you, now that he's reached a higher level he can rely on his teammates more. The only thing I wish I can tell everyone else in this comments section is that the entire point of this video was to show Bedard's ability to skate with the puck and shoot, not pass. I mean, the video is about him "putting up a clinic" afterall
played against him in whistler a few months ago, he was overshadowed by all of his 04 teammates (to be fair they were all W drafted)... i think if he can find his role more clearly as a team player he can be good be he is too individual at the moment
Would be nice to know more. Are the other kids his age too? If they're all the same age group then it's pretty impressive. He will learn to pass, just needs to get rocked a couple times
Everyone saying he should pass the puck but when you watch most of the clips his teammates can't keep up so why should he pass if they are gonna slow down the play
Keeyaanii Goodluck exactly, he’s like 5 steps ahead of everyone out there and his team mates prob have no clue what he’s doing anyway. And on top it’s spring hockey ffs, who passes in spring.
all this people talking about passing the puck look up him now hes 15 in the whl putting up numbers to match or even beat Connor mcdcvid but yet "still a decent player playing vs b level kids who needs to pass" the kids a prodigy and will defainlty be a number 1 pick and maybe be better then mcdcvid himself and dont forget hes only a 05 and in this video hes 13
To everyone saying it’s bad hockey, it’s probable because it’s a spring tournament and not all elite players play in spring leagues in Bantam anymore. They all usually just go to different summer long development camps. This isn’t a AAA league. Kid is probably just screwing around with players half as good as him which explains why he isn’t passing the puck. In his actual AAA league which is actually a really good league he scored 88 points in 33 games as a first year
This is the kid that never makes it to D1 NCAA, never gets anywhere big, ends up getting crushed and then lives out his dream playing in a D-level beer league sandbagging and “going home with the scoring title” showing off for some 16 year old girls in 10pm saturday night games at his local hometown rink who everyone thinks is a douche cause he plays down just to look better.
Doesn't anyone take the body anymore?? They are all watching the puck I zeroed in on the crest and nailed the guy, let my teammate pick up the puck and go.

it's crazy to see this 4 years later when this kid is now the number 1 draft pick and currently the face of the nhl.
Now Bedard is 18 years old, and already has more NHL assists than every single person combined who once commented "he needs to pass more".
Plays with his head up, very good skater, and great hands.
Can’t believe people are talking bad about this kid. He is a great player and yes, he could pass the puck a little more but he will get better at his team play overtime and he had 41 apples in 36 games as a 14 year old vs 18 year olds and I think he will be a good player in the NHL
hi
look at him now
He was sick af then too. He's going to be unreal in this league.
There’s always gonna be haters tho
I've played competitive hockey before(AAA). My parents didnt have to buy my coach a car to get on the team lol. But this kid is making it look way to easy. This is what I look like when I play pick up hockey. I really hope he gets more challenge. Otherwise he is just that good. Keep it up kid
if you look at him now hes the future mcdavid lol
Since when did Beddard buy the coach a car? He has skill and when u have that ability u go places.
@@RoyceTheRiPPer i get what he was saying it’s as in he’s a real triple a player . Like there’s some kids who’s parents have connections . So he was a decent AAA player and when he goes to pick up games it’s like he’s playing 10 yr olds . And that benard would make him look like a pickup player

first round draft
After a minute, I muttered to myself, "pass the puck". Looks like I'm not alone.
John Bristowe he doesn’t need to pass the puck I played at the whistler elite showcase tournament in June and in stat sheet it said he had 1 turnover all tournament along with 15 goals and 10 apples
Why? His teammates are three steps behind and when they're in position he sets them up for tap ins.
Scouts dont card about passing, it's all about production my friend
These are highlights. They sent gonna show Bedard passing the puck for 10 minutes. They show actual plays
Yeah, I will go ahead and call this a very very bad take @john bristowe lol, he just put up 51 goals as a 16 years old in 62 games in the whl …keep on shooting kid, keep on shooting
To all the people who commented about playing against bad players. He just became the first ever player to be granted exceptional player status in the WHL
And just became the number 1 pick from draft 2023
Look. He’s definitely a talented guy. No denying that. But he’s playing against some really unimpressive guys here
Edit: all the people sounding off in the comments need to re-read my comment. He’s an unbelievable offensive talent. I know that. I’m just saying, these kids he’s playing are not very good.

1:52 idk 27 in red looks like an absolute stud. I mean he must be, he's got white gloves.
Most times at this age there are standouts that dominate the more casual players - give it a couple years and the playing field will get a lot more competitive. Bud is good though.
doesn't matter if it's pylons, the kid is clearly silk
This kid is playing projected first overall picks
First Last lmao
I know his passing may be an issue. But from this video, a lot of the options weren’t properly setup. I’d say he’s experienced enough to see some people just shouldn’t touch the puck.
Also spring tourneys are usually about individual progress. He’s not a playmaker. Let him do his thing
Let him do his thing.....translation, Let him be a puck hog.
@@memekiller8361 u still saying that now bud?
This kid is going to be the number 1 draft pick. He has tons of assist and goals.
1:34 I wanna know how those red guys ended up being that out of position lol
playing way below his skill level.....his skill can't be judged at this level....
01kfunk he’s a 05 that plays with 18u
how is that 18u they look the same as him just worse. If people are saying he plays up that's 15u just saying
Jake Kye this is an old video if u go up to a new video it’s of him play in 18u
He is 04 btw he brithday is January 1st
No Name he’s 05
Just scored 4 goals in one game for Canada in the IIHF World Juniors
This is what I feel like when we play floor hockey in gym class
Faxxx
comments here are so cringe lol. he was a phenom then and hes a phenom now
Just remember this is a highlight video of some goals he had.... I'm sure he as no problem passing. Clearly the kid can skate and has great hands. Try not to tear into him just because you dont think the other players are very good.

You guys saying he should pass the puck? Why? Teammates can't keep up with him. Keep doing what your doing CB. Killing it!
My goal is to get that good💪🏼
Diefyy finally a positive comment
This is the first positive comment I’ve seen on one of these vids
The lad has a bright future ahead when he finally comes to the NHL
really skilled, no worry he will be picked number 1 by a WHL team next spring. Only negative thing I noticed about him was that he didnt use his teamates or pass very often for an example view the play at 1:52 . He had multiple clear passing options to the number 2 defencemen who had a clear shooting lane while Bedard had 2 opponents pressing and checking him but he did not pass and was lucky to get through to the slot because the competition was so poor, it wont be that easy in the WHL he needs to start using his teamates more
Daeman Fraser I agree
hes so much better than anyone else, its prob just easier for him to take it all the way and score by himself. !
@@EmpireWorldwideTrade that is true but im just saying would he continue to take it for himself when he reaches the WHL where you have to utilize your teamates to succede. It could be a little red flag about him but besides that hes an excellant player
He is obviously a very smart player who will adjust to how the competition plays him and will succeed at the highest levels.
...proceeds to have 100 pts as a 16 yr old
To everyone criticizing Bedard , this kid just got granted exceptional status to play in the dub . Just goes to show how much all you keyboard warriors really know about hockey .
Everyone knows this. You're not enlightened
Zero body contact hockey. No one pushes him, angles him, hits him, slashes him. I don’t understand??
cuz no one can touch him
this comment didnt age well
@@benjaminvisbeen5113aged even worse after he broke his jaw
Hockey has become a joke sadly. You are correct my friend. Yes of course defensemen could line him up and crush him. Just not the nature of a once great sport.
such a great player. Doesn’t even celly after what would be my best goal of the season.
@ 0:28 wtf is that defense? no wonder people think this kid is good, look who he's playing against.
squilliam fancyson I was watching this thing like wtf 😂😂😂 like bruh he kept doing the same toe drag over and over again too
The kids is clearly silk
hes sick af what u saying
they must be scared of the puck lol
He’s in the NHL, how’d this comment work out for ya?
unreal just needs to pass more
Agree
Yes
I agreee

Hahahahahahahaha. The kid is very good but lets not get carried away.
Anyone notice him circling? He skates like an Eastern European player. Puck control and skating. Hockey IQ is high.
All the single a and house league all stars talking about how bad he his is hilarious😂😂
Right!!
1:04 Did the kid do a Michigan there? The official was blocking the view.
He’s phenomenal at not passing the puck. I’d hate playing with this kid.
lmao well doesnt matter when he is in the whl and still one of the leading scorers
@@benjaminvisbeen5113 u were right he is for his age in the dub
@@benjaminvisbeen5113 yeah don’t you just hate someone who scores almost everytime he touches the puck🤦♂️
What about now bud?
L
Anyone here in 2023 when he’s in the nhl?
He seems good but that defense is sooo bad so I can’t tell how good he really is
Yeah 2:57 is just insane
hes pretty good
1:16 bro is a menace to his defence
Omg this kid is insane
I feel like this 14 Y/O is going to get drafted #1 overall in the NHL draft in 2023
Nah, I don’t think so
Jesus this kid is good
That guy doesn’t even pass to his teammates, he plays alone! He could pass 2 minutes in the others team zone without even thinking passing the puck once
2:25 that one timer was crazy. especially for that age
People clowning on this kid don’t realize that he’s playing in a summer league with nhl players and doing really well
And now he’s in the NHL
I’ve played in this tournament twice… just overage now, I barely play AAA…
To the people saying he’s playing against awful kids he is in fucking bantams so it’s not supposed to be junior A skill level he is just very very very good
this would be single 'A' hockey in Ontario.
sgtSNIPESHOWsgt same things in Québec
sgtSNIPESHOWsgt looks like house league
buddy this guy would light up the o are u joking?
NHL bud
He is very impressive. He is a very good skater, has silky smooth hands and great reflexes. He passes very well. Kind of plays like a younger Connor Mcdavid. No need to hate. I think I can see this kid ripping up the NHL one day.
True
What level bantam aa?
looks like the goalies currently struggling with hangover
Man he grew fast and then stopped, he looked big compared to others
It looks like everyone is just standing around watching
funny seeing him be the biggest on the ice
His ability to pass has gotten much better. Yea he's a puck hog here, but if you watch from the 2022 cancelled world jrs to the most recent world jr in Halifax you'll notice a huge difference. He has gotten much better at finding the pass rather than just being a shoot first kid.

What’s the reason for no contact??
I wonder if he’ll get picked first overall in the nhl draft
It’s common these days to see a Travel A player tearing up house league.
How’d this comment go for you?
I guess 9 goals in 13 games is nothing
He needs to try and do that in the GTHL OR OMHA
Skookumm He’s going the the WHL and was granted exceptional player status meaning he can play in the CHL at 15 which is what he’s doing
he does scored 12 goals and 16 assists in 15 games as a 15 year-old in the WHL.
He’s doing just fine in the NHL
he is doing that against your favorite NHL team now
played against him in whistler a few months ago, he was overshadowed by all of his 04 teammates (to be fair they were all W drafted)... i think if he can find his role more clearly as a team player he can be good be he is too individual at the moment
Which 04s were W drafted?
He barely played in the provincial final against a team with only 2 kids drafted and lost 6-1
well he turned out just fine
this aged well
Now he has his first nhl goal
Is he playing against mite house players
This looks like a non checking men's league game. Not one body check on Bedard. The NHL is showing him how hard it really is now.
how old is he? shot is lacking velocity.
Andrew Persaud umm tf you just say his shot is like the best in Canada first and also he’s 15 playing in the whl
Lmao
Bro just did the Michigan with the Blackhawks
Look where he is now bro
0:11 that's my hockey rink lol
4 years in futer he is playing in the NHL For the Blackhawk
This kid is dirty. He’s going to rip up the dub
Would be nice to know more. Are the other kids his age too? If they're all the same age group then it's pretty impressive. He will learn to pass, just needs to get rocked a couple times
This comment aged ig, definitely got rocked
Now thats hockey
Everyone saying he should pass the puck but when you watch most of the clips his teammates can't keep up so why should he pass if they are gonna slow down the play
Keeyaanii Goodluck exactly, he’s like 5 steps ahead of everyone out there and his team mates prob have no clue what he’s doing anyway. And on top it’s spring hockey ffs, who passes in spring.
Nobody:
Wagon Hockey fans when a kids good at hockey: PaSs tHE PuCK, DeFEnsE is TrAsH!!111!
The goal at 3:00
Pass the puck!!! Yes definitely has skill but will get his bell rung playing with players of his caliber.
This aged well
This aged well
League he is playing in is one of the best
all this people talking about passing the puck look up him now hes 15 in the whl putting up numbers to match or even beat Connor mcdcvid but yet "still a decent player playing vs b level kids who needs to pass" the kids a prodigy and will defainlty be a number 1 pick and maybe be better then mcdcvid himself and dont forget hes only a 05 and in this video hes 13
That’s my home arena
nice
Meanwhile Mrs. Bedard is in the parking lot securing Connors NHL debut in the backseat of her Dodge Durango using her newest knee pads
To everyone saying it’s bad hockey, it’s probable because it’s a spring tournament and not all elite players play in spring leagues in Bantam anymore. They all usually just go to different summer long development camps. This isn’t a AAA league. Kid is probably just screwing around with players half as good as him which explains why he isn’t passing the puck. In his actual AAA league which is actually a really good league he scored 88 points in 33 games as a first year
Phenom is a heavy word.
Aged well
oof
Hold this L
This is the kid that never makes it to D1 NCAA, never gets anywhere big, ends up getting crushed and then lives out his dream playing in a D-level beer league sandbagging and “going home with the scoring title” showing off for some 16 year old girls in 10pm saturday night games at his local hometown rink who everyone thinks is a douche cause he plays down just to look better.
In other words, he will turn into the Nasher
Your right he won't play NCAA D1 because he will be drafted first overall in 2023 and go directly to the NHL.
Oof. You're not gonna like what you see when you watch Chicago this year...
lol imagine not knowing anything about hockey
to anyone who doesn't think he's all that, go check out the vid of him playing against NHL players. hes 14
You might be right
Needs to pass more. He had guys open and decided to dangle. Plus there’s no hitting. Still he does have talent.
some skill there for sure...
Nice video hockey dad! Clearly some very questionable opponents on the ice. I’m sure you’ve sent this video out to all the WHL teams with high hopes.
Kid was just granted exceptional status by the WHL so I guess it worked 😂 Don't hate mate, it ain't a good look 🙁
P.S. 7th player in CHL history btw
this comment didnt age well since now he is only 1 of 5 to be in the whl under 16 lmao
Dude is projected #1 overall for the draft now...
Bro, just hold your L
hey how did this age?
Missing the phenom part of the video. Passing the puck might help his game
this aged well 😊
NHL
Sonk
he was ok size for Bantam / Peewee.. he is getting pushed around in NHL.. He needs to gain some muscle mass before he gets hurt.
Back in the day Bedard would have been crushed into the boards.
No he wouldn’t.
I've seen video of Crosby at approximately the same age and Crosby looked much more impressive
Norb Lisinski I mean it's SIDNEY FUCKIN CROSBY but yeah, that D was awful
Now he plays for the blackhawks
Doesn't anyone take the body anymore?? They are all watching the puck I zeroed in on the crest and nailed the guy, let my teammate pick up the puck and go.
Beer league is no contact bud
I feel so badly for the goalies…
Kinda being a one man show, not passing much but he's good.👍
It’s not a passing highlight reel
Regina pats bound
Is he intentionally not passing the puck? 😂
Everyone is her just to hate. This kid is unreal way ahead of his age skill wise
I play the same way on nhl 19 be a pro mode ‘don’t pass the puck’ lol
Donovan Auger Lol you really made me laugh lol
It’s a video game 🎮
A.I is on Rookie
He is fast!
He has some incredible hands !
But Bro. Pass the fucking Puck!! Hockey is the fastest *Team* Sport on the Planet. The fuck
If you are in a position to score, he will pass it to you.
nobody here knows that he would be in world juniors
Great hands and shot, but for Gods sake, pass the puck kid!!!
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
The next one
