Connor Bedard was Seen Working Out at 6:30 AM while others slept at the team hotel
Before the game against the Florida Panthers on Sunday, Connor Bedard worked out, early before anyone else.
Head coach Luke Richardson was thrown off guard by the fact that he went to the gym first thing in the morning. It was Connor Bedard at 6:30 in the morning. He has demonstrated his dedication to the fullest extent.
Along with complimenting Richardson's commitment to self-improvement, Bedard understands what gave the coach his longevity in the NHL.
When it comes to games and practices, Bedard has demonstrated that he is dedicated to his craft first on the ice and last off.
"I think he's driven. He gets excited at times but there's times where it's a really quick celebration and you can tell he's just skating and moving on mentally to the next play. I like that. I think that'll drag everybody along with him; not that the other guys aren't like that as well, but it's great to have young guys who are already in that mindset."
Connor Bedard was seen by Luke Richardson working out in their hotel on Sunday at 6:30 a.m.
"I think he's that guy. He's eager."
He has been so dedicated that even veterans' patience has worn thin over his ability to practice even when it was actually time to leave.
Bedard has shown this kind of work ethic, which coaches look for in natural leaders on the ice.
It's a dedication that coach Richardson appreciates and wants to see continue.
