He is an athlete who is extremely focused on his goals; he is remarkably humble, mature, and he proved it again yesterday.
Early in the night, he scored his very first goal with the Chicago Blackhawks, but it was his reaction afterwards that went viral on the web.
The 18-year-old remained stone-faced, even appearing frustrated during his celebration.
SEE:
Knowing a bit about how Bedard thinks, he was probably frustrated due to a play that occurred a little earlier in the sequence.
He was likely disappointed in a decision or a play he made earlier, and even though it culminated in his 1st career goal in the Chicago Blackhawks uniform, he didn't celebrate at all.
It's extremely rare to see that, but clearly, he will be a great player.
Let's recall that after his first preseason game, in which he scored two points, he had said he was very disappointed in himself and his performance.
He had added that he wasn't sure about making the Blackhawks' lineup.
A lot of maturity for a young man of just 18 years old!
