Connor Bedard's favorite thing to do in life is playing hockey. His 2nd favorite thing is thinking about hockey. His 3rd favorite thing? Well he probably doesn't have a 3rd favorite thing. He's either playing hockey, he's thinking about hockey, or he's absolutely miserable and/or asleep. But chances are he's dreaming about hockey so even that isn't too bad. 

But I'll go ahead and ask the question that everybody is wondering...is Connor Bedard a bad teammate? The kid is completely obsessed with the sport, sure, but so much so that he'll be a total ice hog out there. There was nothing worse than those kids who flat our refused to get off the ice. You'd be waiting on the bench as your other 2 linemates went out 50 seconds ago. The play goes down one end, comes back the other, you keep staring at him like a hawk as he pretends to not even know where the bench is at. Finally there's a whistle for offsides and your 2 linemates are already gassed. You get a quick 15-second shift before it's time for another line change. That's Connor Bedard. 

Where I come from, generational superstars know that quick shifts are the key to greatness. Save the 2-minute long shifts with a million toe drags for summer league.
