Fan sports custom Connor Bedard Blackhawks jersey originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Amid a hard-watched game between the Blackhawks and Canucks, in which the Canucks won 5-2, one broadcast camera found a hilariously preemptive Hawks jersey in the crowd.
One fan took the liberty of claiming a Connor Bedard Blackhawks jersey, well before the highly-anticipated NHL prospect enters the draft.

In three seasons in the WHL, Bedard has tallied 209 points on 102 goals and 107 assists. This season, in 33 games with the Regina Pats, he has 81 points on 39 goals and 42 assists.
