Blackhawks’ Connor Bedard Makes NHL History With All-Star Selection

Chicago Blackhawks rookie sensation Connor Bedard was selected for the 2024 NHL All-Star Game on Thursday, earning the nod as the franchise’s representative at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto in early February. 

Bedard, who is 18 years and 171 days old and has played just 38 games in his NHL career, becomes the youngest player in league history to be selected to the All-Star team. 

Come the All-Star Game on Feb. 3, the prized rookie will be 18 years and 201 days old. He’ll be 58 days younger than the former record holder, Jeff Skinner, who was 18 years and 259 days old when he debuted as an All-Star for the Carolina Hurricanes back in 2011.
