Connor Bedard Is The Connor Bedard Of Roller Hockey

Bedard is absolutely addicted to hockey. The Blackhawks wouldn't let him skate during prospect camp and that was the longest he's ever gone without playing hockey. Him playing roller in the summer should be borderline illegal. Even though that league is nasty and has a ton of NHL guys playing he just makes everything look so easy. He just puts darts wherever he wants. 

That really is probably the best way to describe his shot. It's a dart. Flick of the wrist and it goes where he wants in the blink of an eye. Unlike anything I've ever seen. His shot is so mesmerizing that he doesn't get enough credit for his passing and vision. Look at this shit

A little toe-drag pass across the slot. This kid just creates angles and space every which way. When your release is that dangerous you're inherently going to have room to operate. It's beautiful to watch no matter the surface.
