Connor Bedard, the young hockey star, is close to doing something really special that could make history in the NHL. At just 18, Bedard is trying to break a record held by some of the greatest players ever.
Chasing Gretzky's Record
The record for the most goals by an 18-year-old in NHL history is held by Wayne Gretzky, who scored an impressive 51 goals. Bedard isn't just trying to break the record; he's on track to smash it.
Comparing Bedsy to History
To understand Bedard's potential, here are some other players and how many goals they scored at 18:
Wayne Gretzky: 51 goals Dale Hawerchuk: 45 goals Pierre Turgeon: 40 goals Sidney Crosby: 39 goals Steve Yzerman: 39 goals
Bedard's pace suggests he could hit 50 goals, beating even Gretzky's record of 51. This would not only show Bedard is a special player but also make history in the NHL.
As Bedard keeps playing great, hockey fans are excited to see if he can achieve this incredible stat and be remembered with the best in the game.
