Hey, well done Blackhawks!! LOL, Bedard not being a Smith or a Jones, and being a hockey player, i thought he had to be a relative to the Jim Bedard .. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=171800246 .. whom i recall even better now. He was a defenseman. Huge guy who loved to play it tough. Actually was a good guy too, by memory. He once or twice most every game used to gather the puck at his end of the rink while at the same time gathering a roar from the crowd as you could tell he was priming to go up the center, all the way to the goalie at the other end. Sure enough, lol, that Jim was Connor's great uncle .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Bedard_(ice_hockey,_born_1927) .

Edit: Hmm, don't know the direct link doesn't stick. That one indirectly gets you to

This article is about the defenceman who played with the Chicago Black Hawks. For the goaltender who played with the Washington Capitals, see Jim Bedard (ice hockey, born 1956).

James Leo Bedard (November 19, 1927 – February 2, 1994) was a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who played 22 games in the National Hockey League with the Chicago Black Hawks during the 1949–50 and 1950–51 seasons. He spent the majority of his career, which lasted from 1948 to 1958, with the New Westminster Royals of the Western Hockey League.[1] He is the great-great uncle of Connor Bedard.

Connor's sister went to Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C., which was built
only about 10 minutes drive from our home while i was still living in N Burnaby.

The author of this one .. https://sportslulu.com/connor-bedard-parents .. seems to have missed Jim Bedard.

LOL that does bring me closer to home. Thanks for the fun.
