Next to Auston Matthews and his back-to-back hat tricks to open the 2023-24 NHL season, the hottest thing in hockey might be Connor Bedard. The 18-year-old phenom is a point-per-game player so far, notching a goal and 2 assists across his first 3 NHL games.
Bedard was a hot commodity dating back to before the NHL's draft lottery. Now that he's a Blackhawk, I'm sure he's still plenty coveted, even though he's not going anywhere.
Speaking of being a hot commodity, this week, Instagram/TikTok model Breckie Hill decided to shoot her shot towards Bedard over Instagram, sharing a scintillating photo, not wearing much of anything aside from a Chicago Blachawks jersey, tagging Bedard directly in the post:
Okay, so it's not Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce level news, but it is pretty significant. Hill has a following that exceeds 3M on TikTok and 1.5M on Instagram.
There's no indication as of yet whether or not Bedard has caught wind of Hill's advances, but I'm sure if he hasn't seen the post yet, his teammates will be sure he sees it before the weekend is out.
