CHICAGO — Compared with the fanfare of being drafted with the No. 1 pick, Connor Bedard’s first week as a Chicago Blackhawk seemed low key — probably just how he likes it.
“I’m still a 17-year-old kid,” he said Thursday at Fifth Third Arena. “There are responsibilities that come along with the noise and attention and stuff and I’m aware of that, but in the room I’m just one of the guys and in life and with my family. I’m a normal person.”
Normal 17-year-olds don’t usually get shout-outs from rap superstars.
