Calgary, Alta. - The Western Hockey League announced today that Regina Pats forward Connor Bedard has been named WHL Player of the Week for the week ending April 17, 2022.

The 16-year-old led all WHL skaters with eight points (2G-6A) in three outings with the Pats this past week, reaching the 50-goal and 100-point marks in the process.

The product of North Vancouver, B.C. garnered a trio of assists over two setbacks versus the Winnipeg ICE Friday, April 15 and Saturday, April 16.

In Regina's season finale Sunday, April 17, Bedard matched a career best with five points (2G-3A) as the Pats upended the Moose Jaw Warriors 7-4.

Bedard scored his 50th goal of the season at the 13:50 mark of the third period before adding his 100th point of the campaign with an empty-net tally in the final minute of play.
