Nick Foligno shared insights into Connor Bedard's day on the ice, revealing the young talent's determination to skate despite a few hurdles.
Bedard's day unfolded in three separate skating sessions, prompting Foligno to recount the events to the Blackhawks media Sunday morning.
According to Foligno, Bedard initially hit the ice but got kicked off. Undeterred, he returned for a session with the goalies, only to face being kicked off again, this time for the main practice.
Despite Foligno's attempts to keep Bedard off the ice, he admitted to failing miserably, attributing it to Bedard's persuasive "puppy eyes" that led to his return.
Nick Foligno on his efforts of trying to keep Connor Bedard off the ice: "Failed miserably. Sucks. Puppy eyes and you just let him out there. No, it's great to see that he's feeling great."
Foligno acknowledged the positive aspect, expressing joy at seeing Bedard in high spirits and feeling great despite having a broken jaw.
