Bedard, projected No. 1 NHL draft pick, plays Blazers during first visit to Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — The biggest superstar in junior hockey is in Kamloops tonight. Connor Bedard, the projected No. 1 overall pick in next year’s NHL Draft, plays the Blazers at the Sandman Centre with the Regina Pats in town.
The game is sold out with a few standing room tickets available. All of the previous three games in Langley, Victoria and Tuesday night (Nov. 29) in Kelowna were sold out.
“[The full buildings are] definitely for our whole group, not just myself,” said Bedard. “When you’re playing in front of six, seven thousand people, it’s a lot of fun. It brings a lot of energy, so we’ve had a lot of fun with it and it’s been pretty exciting every night.”
