The image pointed to a lesser-known chapter of NHL history involving rising star Connor Bedard. As fans react with a mix of curiosity, skepticism, and optimism, the unexpected relationship has sparked various responses on social media.
The official Chicago Blackhawks account tweeted a photograph showcasing Connor Bedard's great-great uncle, James Bedard, standing alongside two of his teammates. The caption read,
"The Bedard family is no stranger to the Blackhawks organization 🤯. Connor's great-great uncle James (left) played 22 games from 1949-51."

"Let's hope Connor fairs better."
Another fan tweeted:
