Hockey Canada to Present Bedard with IIHF Championship Ring

November 10, 2021 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Regina Pats News Release


Regina, Sask. - In addition to tonight being the Regina Pats Remembrance Day game and the second We Care Weekday game, there will also be a different kind of special presentation prior to puck drop against the Red Deer Rebels.

Pats forward Connor Bedard will be presented with his 2021 IIHF U-18 World Championship ring during a pre-game ceremony on Wednesday, after he helped Team Canada to a Gold Medal in Dallas, TX last May, along with 22 other CHL players.

Following a perfect 4-0 preliminary round, a quarter-final win over the Czech Republic and a semi-final win over Sweden, Team Canada defeated Russia 5-3 in the gold medal game to win Canada's first U-18 World Championship since 2013.

Bedard was instrumental in this win, co-leading Team Canada in points with 14 (7G, 7A), despite being the youngest player on the team. He scored in the gold medal game too, dazzling with an individual effort that he finished top-shelf on the backhand to even the score in the first period. Bedard was named to the media all-star team at the conclusion of the tournament.

Congratulations to Connor and all CHL players and staff on this outstanding accomplishment.

There are still tickets left for tonight's game against Red Deer. You can get yours at the Brandt Centre box office starting at 12 p.m.
