"Connor Bedard won't be able to dress for Canada at the upcoming Worlds. Really wanted to go, but was told the best thing for next season was to rehab his injury and skip the event."
"Bedard opted to not accept an invitation from Hockey Canada last year to spend more time working to improve his game. That work paid immediate dividends; Bedard's game went to another level this past season."
"The only thing that slowed down Bedard's season was a shoulder injury suffered in the closing seconds of a loss to the Blues on Dec. 12. The injury cost Bedard 12 games."
"According to the Friedman report, Bedard will continue to rehab his shoulder this summer. He has already been seen skating with Oliver Moore in Florida."
Connor Bedard will miss the upcoming World Championship tournament to focus on rehabbing his shoulder injury. He previously declined an invitation from Hockey Canada to enhance his skills, which resulted in significant improvement last season. Despite a stellar performance as a No. 1 overall pick, a shoulder injury sidelined him for 12 games. Bedard is expected to continue his rehabilitation this summer, while teammate Oliver Moore will represent the United States in the tournament after recovering from his own injury.
