Chicago's Connor Bedard was a bit nervous prior to making his NHL debut against his childhood idol Sidney Crosby and the Penguins on Tuesday night at the United Center.
The No. 1 pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, Bedard appeared to be sort of star-struck heading onto the ice. Cameras captured him forgetting his stick as he initially made his way out of the tunnel.
The hockey phenom was shown frantically returning to the locker room to retrieve his stick.
