Did Breckie Hill court Connor Bedard? Looking at Tiktok star's Blackhawks fandom
Breckie Hill is a prominent figure on TikTok with three million followers. She made headlines with her courtship of hockey sensation Connor Bedard on October 14. The TikTok celebrity, known for her boldness, took her Blackhawks fandom to a new level by sharing multiple pictures of herself donning a Blackhawks shirt.
Hill's playful caption on one of the photos, where she referred to herself as Bedard's "future hockey wife," caught the attention of fans and followers.
In this intriguing move, Hill showcased her support for Bedard, who is currently in his rookie campaign and gaining admiration for his on-ice performance. The photos featured Hill wearing a Jonathan Toews jersey with the captain patch, a choice that might have been intended to tease Bedard.
