Yeah, experts said was to young and small for exceptional status in the WHL. Would never make the World Juniors as a 16yr old. He will struggle with a bad Regina team and the pressure will get to him😅😂
Your Grandpa must of looked under 30❤
Only 17 years old!!
I wish more people were like Connor – humble, hardworking and good for society. 😀 Hope he turns out to be like that 🙂 all the way!
Man, if his Grandpa could see him now. Holy cow
Seems like a good kid and from a good family.
CONNOR MCBLACKHAWK!!!
His parents seem like the opposite of Paul Marner
Bedard with the Blackhawks is wrong. It's like LeBron James getting drafted by the Bulls instead of the Cavs.
