Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard caused some controversy after he appeared to snub an adult fan looking for an autograph while he was out walking with teammates.

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard is known for being very kind and generous with younger fans, but his actions against an adult fan recently have caused a stir on the web.
Bedard appeared to reject an adult male looking for an autograph of a magazine while he was walking with a few of his teammates.
"Connor Bedard of the NHL Chicago Blackhawks shows zero humanity to this guy in what would have taken 2 seconds to be a decent person. These sellouts are just under a lot of pressure right now, and not at peace."
Most fans seemed to agree with Bedard's actions, even though he eventually relented and signed.
"Probably should have left it after Bedard ignored him. His tiktok seems like he genuinely gets autos as collectibles not a reseller. Bedard was pretty rude in this situation would have taken 20 seconds to acknowledge and sign them."

most of these people sell these at profit and have nothing to do with being a true fan so I'm totally fine with them ignoring the people who harass them for these.

"This is the approach all athletes need to start taking with adult autograph seekers. When a kid does it, it's special. This is harassment."

Connor Bedard Is Off To The Best Start Of His Career

Thanks to the best offensive start to his NHL career, the Blackhawks are off to their best start since they last made the playoffs in 2020.
Bedard already has 31 points (13G, 18A) in 21 games for the Blackhawks, who already have 10 wins on the year.
