Blackhawks superstar Connor Bedard explains his least favorite role as a role model and the future face of the NHL as he acted in an NHL commercial.

He states that the media portion of the role is not what he enjoys and feels that if he wanted to act he would be an actor.

"It was fine. It was in Vegas (during the player media tour), we were just going station to station. But it turned out really well, I think. People enjoyed it. I think the NHL is doing a lot of stuff like that, trying to promote us off the ice, as well, a little bit. I think they did a good job," Bedard said.

"It's not fun, really. But it's part of it. It's not what I love to do. If I did, I'd be an actor. But I'm a hockey player. It's not my No. 1 thing, but it's fine."

The commercial in question was several of the next generational stars of the league playing on the notion that Gen Z and all their stereotypes that older generations have given them. Of course, many had fun with this commercial and the fanbase gave it their approval as many enjoyed it.

Bedard would rather work on his game and he and his team are trying to find consistency in their game as they continue to be below .500 hockey. After losing to the Stars 3-1, they will have a few days rest and return to the United Center as they face off against the Minnesota Wild.

Game time will be on November 10th and puck drop will be at 7:00pm.
