Connor Bedard is the youngest All-Star in NHL history.

Chicago Blackhawks rookie can pat himself on the back as he becomes the youngest player ever selected to an NHL All-Star Game. Bedard is the youngest player to be chosen, though he will be the second youngest to actually participate in the game, as he will be 18 years and 202 days old at the time, a record he cannot take from Fleming MacKell, who was 18 years and 16 days old when he played in the game. However, Bedard will go down in the history books as the youngest ever to be selected.

Bedard was the Blackhawks' 1st pick in the 2023 NHL draft, and he has impressed since putting on the jersey. In this season, he is the team's points leader, and looking at his stats, he stands out as a major contributor to the team.
